Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

Add the carrots, butter, honey, water, garlic, cinnamon, bay and a good pinch of salt to a wide pan and bring to a rolling boil uncovered.

800 g Carrots

75 g Butter

3 tbsp Honey

400 ml Water

1 Garlic clove

1 Cinnamon stick

1 Bay leaf

Salt

Step 2

Reduce to a steady simmer and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, allowing the liquid to slowly evaporate while the carrots soften and absorb flavour.

Step 3

As the pan becomes syrupy, gently shake it so the carrots glaze evenly.

Step 4

Once glossy, let the carrots sit against the pan to caramelise lightly, turning once or twice for colour.

Step 5

Remove the garlic, cinnamon and bay, add orange zest, nutmeg and black pepper, then taste and adjust seasoning.

Did this on Christmas day for 11 people. Big success! Very tasty. Doing it again on NYE but only for 4. Less carrots to clean! 😏

Adored this recipe. Fool proof and so easy. Perfect for having guests. I just sat everything in the pot on the stove early, then turned the stove on when I was ready to cook. LOVE this for dinner parties. Will be using this recipe exclusively for carrots.
