Ingredients for Almond Honey Carrots

  • 1 pound carrots
  • Chicken Stock
  • Liquid Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • Sliced Almonds
  • 1 tablespoon butter

How to Make Almond Honey Carrots

  1. Peel 1 pound of carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
  2. 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.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the carrots are almost tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of slivered almonds and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
