Instructions

1

Steam the Carrots

Place the sliced carrots in a microwave-safe bowl with the water and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes until the carrots are fork-tender.

2

Drain and Glaze

Carefully drain any remaining water from the bowl. Add the honey, butter, and salt to the hot carrots and stir well so the butter melts and coats every piece.

3

Final Microwave and Serve

Return the bowl to the microwave uncovered for 30 seconds to help the glaze set and caramelize slightly. Stir once more and serve hot.

Common mistakes

Adding the honey before steaming which causes it to burn and become bitter in the microwave
