Citrus Honey Carrots

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 5 Min

Sometimes the simplest things are the best, like carrots glazed with honey. Why not make our Citrus Honey Carrots and add a twist of lime zest for a nice touch of holiday green?

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup honey
2 (14.5-ounce) cans whole baby carrots, drained
1 teaspoon grated lime peel

What to Do

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add honey, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce has thickened, stirring frequently.
Add carrots and lime peel, and saute 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through and well coated with sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

For extra zest, grate a bit of additional lime peel over the top just before serving.
We are carrot lovers around here, so we like to whip up a batch of Carrot and Parsnip Soup to have on hand. It tastes great and feels so good going down!

I use fresh carrots in my recipe but I love roasted carrots and they always come out so good, either sweet or savory. Thanks for the recipes like this. Sweet potatoes roasted savory are wonderful too.

I love the idea of citrus with glazed carrots. I'm thinking a little fresh squeezed orange juice with it, too.

Um...shouldn't an ingredient be some sort of CITRUS? Maybe squeeze the lime juice into the carrots...dunno..just seems silly to name a recipe CITRUS Honey Carrots, when the only CITRUS is the lime zest (which is the peeling only)...Just my opinion.. :)

it's called Citrus cause if you really read the recpie it uses lime zest! But the juice would probally be good too
