A delightful side dish featuring tender carrots glazed with honey and butter, topped with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
Peel and slice the carrots into even-sized pieces.
Cut the carrots into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Place the carrots in a medium saucepan with half the butter, half the honey, the salt, and the water.
Using a non-stick saucepan can prevent the glaze from sticking.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered until the water has mostly evaporated and the carrots are tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the carrots from sticking to the pan.
Add the remaining butter and honey, and cook while stirring until the carrots are coated in a thick glaze, about 3 minutes.
Keep stirring to evenly coat the carrots with the glaze.
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a more intense flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious honey-glazed carrots with toasted sesame.
This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats or as part of a vegetarian spread.
