Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) carrots, peeled and cut into 1” pieces
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons 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 6-7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Finish with lemon zest and chopped parsley.
Serving suggestions & tips
- 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.
