Honey Carrots

Back to all recipes

Here is a healthier way to make a dish similar to glazed carrots.

• 1 1/2 lbs. baby carrots, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 c. water
• 1 T. margarine
• 1/2 T. brown sugar
• 2 T. honey
• 2 or 3 T. minced fresh parsley

Rinse and trim carrots, if fresh. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add carrots, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 10 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp. Drain.
If using frozen carrots, follow package direction for cooking.  In a nonstick skillet, melt margarine over medium-high heat. Add sugar, honey and carrots. Reduce heat and turn carrots frequently until well glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
