This Lemon-glazed Carrots Recipe delivers a sweet and citrusy twist to classic cooked carrots. Glazed in fresh lemon juice and a touch of honey, these vibrant veggies make the perfect healthy side dish. Ideal for weeknight dinners or holiday meals, they’re quick, easy, and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook for 6–8 minutes until tender. Drain.

  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

  3. Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss to coat.

  4. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are glazed.

  5. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan option.

  • Adjust lemon juice to taste for more or less tang.

  • Baby carrots work well too; just adjust cooking time as needed.
