Instrucciones

1. 1

   Peel carrot and slice them on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces. Cutting on the diagonal increases the surface area, which helps the glaze cling and allows for more even cooking.

2. 2

   In a large skillet or wide saucepan, combine carrot, butter, honey, brown sugar, water, and salt. Stir to roughly combine and spread the carrots into an even layer.

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to a boil ^[over medium-high heat], then reduce the heat ^[to medium]. Cover with a lid and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until carrot are just fork-tender but not mushy.

4. 4

   Remove the lid and increase the heat ^[to medium-high]. Cook uncovered for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid has reduced to a thick, syrupy glaze that coats carrot. Watch carefully during this stage — the glaze can go from perfect to burnt quickly.

5. 5

   Remove the pan from the heat. Add black pepper and, if using, cinnamon and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat all carrot evenly in the glaze.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust seasoning — add a pinch more salt if needed. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
