A delightful side dish featuring tender carrots coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze.
Steam the carrots until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Steaming preserves the vibrant color and nutrients of the carrots.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the honey and mustard until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the glaze is evenly flavored.
Add the steamed carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the glaze.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the carrots.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the glazed carrots warm as a side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
