How to Make Balsamic Vinegar Honey Marinated Carrots

  1. Preheat steamer. Cut carrots into 2-inch ovals. Steam until tender-crisp (al dente), about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a medium glass mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
  3. Add the steamed carrots to the bowl and gently toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer (up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  5. Before serving, drain any excess marinade. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
