Honey Glazed Carrots

Recipe by Just Eat Life on YouTubeAdded 11 November 2026.

5 minutes to prep, 10 to cook. Honey‑glazed carrots are a bright, sweet‑savory side that pairs perfectly with holiday meals. Tender baby carrots absorb a buttery honey‑mustard glaze, finished with a splash of lemon and fresh parsley for color and freshness.

Method

  1. Peel the baby carrots along their shaft, trimming off the greens and root ends.

  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the carrots and cook until fork‑tender, about 8–10 minutes.

  3. While the carrots are cooking, melt the butter in a separate pan over medium heat.

  4. Stir in the honey and mustard, cooking until the mixture becomes a thick glaze.

  5. Add the lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. Drain the carrots and return them to the pot; pour the glaze over and toss to coat evenly.

  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
