Ingredients
  

1 lb baby carrots (or regular carrots cut into bite-sized pieces)

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Carrots: If using regular carrots, peel and slice them into bite-sized pieces. If using baby carrots, simply rinse them under cold water and pat dry.

    Boil the Carrots: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender. Drain the carrots and set aside.

      Make the Glaze: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the honey, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well until all ingredients are combined into a rich sauce.

        Glaze the Carrots: Add the drained carrots into the skillet, tossing them gently to coat well with the honey mixture. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the carrots to absorb the sweetness and caramelize slightly.

          Serve: Once well glazed, remove from heat. Transfer the Sweet Honey Glazed Carrot Bites to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

            Enjoy: Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a sweet snack!
