How to Make Carrots In Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut them into 1-inch thick slices.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the carrots with 1 cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. While the carrots are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
  4. Add 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons honey to the melted butter. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Drain the cooked carrots (if necessary; you can leave a little liquid for extra moisture) and add them to the honey mustard sauce. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick (optional).
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley.
