Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots, honey, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the carrots are evenly coated with the honey mixture. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and steam the carrots until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. (10-15 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. If there is excess liquid in the pan, cook uncovered until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots, stirring occasionally. (2-3 minutes)

05

Step

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a deeper flavor, try roasting the carrots instead of steaming. Toss them with the glaze and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick to the glaze.
Freshly grated ginger provides the best flavor, but ground ginger can be substituted in a pinch (use about 1 teaspoon).
If you don't have honey, maple syrup or agave nectar can be used as alternatives.
