Equipment

Large Skillet This Anolon 12" Skillet is great for everything from sautéing vegetables to making one-pan meals!
Cutting Boards This 3-Pack of non-slip cutting boards are a fantastic tool for every home cook.

Ingredients

2 lbs. carrots peeled and sliced
4 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

To a large skillet, add the sliced carrots. Submerge in water, and bring to a low boil over medium-high heat. Simmer for 4-5 minutes.
Drain the water and return the carrots to the skillet. Add the butter, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat over medium-high heat.
Toss the carrots together with the other ingredients until evenly glazed and coated, about 3-4 minutes.
Serve right away while hot. Enjoy!

Notes

Instead of boiling the carrots, you could also steam them in a steamer basket on the stovetop, or microwave-steam them. Check out the Par-Cooking section of this blog post where I elaborate on why and how par cooking is an important step in this recipe.

Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container. Carrots will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated.
