    Honey Glazed Carrots recipe Ingredients placed on a gray table
    • Carrots - Medium size carrots that are not too thick. Thick carrots take a lot of time to cook, so I prefer to use medium-size ones. But you can also use baby carrots for similar results
    • Honey - Use any variety that's handy to you
    • Garlic - Delivers the garlicky flavor and taste to your carrots
    • Seasonings - I have used basic seasonings like chili flakes, black pepper, and salt
    • Herbs - Garnishing with fresh cilantro, parsley, or other similar herbs gives the super fresh flavors to your dish

    • Drain - Drain the Carrots from the water and reserve them for later use

    Tips

    • Carrots - Medium size carrots cook faster when compared to thicker ones. So I recommend choosing the same for the easy and fast cooking. However, you can also use baby carrots for similar results
    • Honey Sauce - Even though honey by itself gives the best sweet flavor to this dish you can also add a tsp of brown sugar for extra taste and flavor
    • Orange - Adding a few tbsp of orange juice to the honey sauce delivers the citrusy flavor and taste to your dish
    • Storing - These Honey Glazed Carrots stay fresh for up to 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container

    Storage Suggestions

    These Honey Glazed Carrots taste great when served warm as soon as it is prepared. However, you can store the leftovers for up to 2 to 3 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. As time goes by, the sauce tends to turn thicker, so make sure to reheat them on the stovetop or in a microwave to achieve desired consistency.
