Honey Glazed Carrots: Food Network

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and then carrots and cook until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the carrots and add back to pan with butter, honey and lemon juice. Cook until a glaze coats the carrots, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.

Good but needs adjusting. First, recipe says to cook in water til TENDER.  It takes a while to get there, so I covered it to speed things along. But then at the end it says to cook 5 mins more with the honey and butter, making it TOO tender. So next time I'd cook in water, covered, BUT I'd cook til FIRM TENDER and then proceed with the butter and honey.  I don't like carrots to be TOO soft, they can feel like baby food that way. Glad I tested this one before Easter!

The only comment that I have is that an extremely talented Cordon Bleu chef that I worked for always said that “if it grows below the ground, start with cold water and if it grows above, start with boiling water.

This is a "keeper" recipe.  I served it with my Easter Dinner and the family just LOVED it!!!  I used carrots with the tops still attached, and I trimmed and peeled the whole carrots so that they looked just like the photo, and I must say, it makes for a beautiful presentation.  I cooked as directed and my carrots were PERFECTLY cooked, tender, but certainly not mushy.  They were beautiful and delicious.

Great easy recipe, husband says I can cook this every day! Thank you.

Very tasty and not too sweet because of the balanced flavors.<br />

jus made this tonite,im very pleased with the ease of this recipe yet so tasty

I loved this!  I used what I had at home, so I replaced the honey with agave syrup, butter with coconut butter, and omitted the parsley.  It came out great!

I have made these several times, always a hit.  Serving for Christmas dinner; standing rib roast and loaded baked potatoes.

I made this as a side for Thanksgiving. Everybody loved them.  I followed the recipe exactly that time but have made some slight tweaks since: I steam the carrots instead of boil them. It only takes a tiny bit more time and saves all the good nutritional content. Also, I leave the carrots slightly underdone at this stage before tossing them into the glaze mixture, as they will cook further in while in the glaze sauce and you don't want mushy carrots.  The second time I made it I also had the glaze sauce going while the carrots steamed. This way it thickened up quicker. If you wait to combine it when the carrots are done steaming then the glaze is too watery. Lastly, I also put in 1/3 less butter and it was just as good as the first time i made it. The important flavors to me were the sweetness of honey and tang of lemon.  I love this recipe
