Uplevel simple carrots with the ultimate sweet-savory combination: Honey and butter. This is one of our favorite “throw-it-all-together-and-cook” side dishes, perfect for a weeknight and a dinner party alike.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

Ingredients
- ½ lb (225g) carrots, peeled and cut into 1” pieces
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Preparation
- Place the carrot pieces, honey, butter, and salt in the Anyday dish. Cover with lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Finish with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
Suggestions
- For a spicy and smoky twist, add some chipotle adobo sauce to mixture before cooking.
- Add some grated ginger for a more flavorful side dish.
- For a lighter version of this side dish, use olive oil instead of butter.
- For a vegan version of this side dish, substitute the butter and honey for olive oil and maple syrup.
Recipe Notes
- If using baby carrots, make sure to microwave with the lid slightly ajar, as the extra moisture in them can cause the dish to be watery.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
