Instructions

Prepare the carrots

 If using large carrots, peel and slice them into uniform pieces about ¼-inch thick on a diagonal.

Simmer

In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine the carrots, butter, honey, water, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Stir to coat the carrots.

Cover and cook

Cover the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are just tender but still firm.

Uncover and glaze

Remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 58 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced to a glossy glaze.

Finish

Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if using, and serve warm.
