How to Make Apple And Honey Glazed Baby Carrots

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of baby carrots to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of apple juice, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 tablespoon of fresh dill.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender-crisp and the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

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.
