How to Make Almond Honey Carrots
- Peel 1 pound of carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- In a large saucepan, combine the carrots, 1 cup of vegetable stock, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the carrots are almost tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Uncover the saucepan and increase the heat to medium-high. Stir frequently until most of the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are glazed and glistening, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of slivered almonds and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
