Provided by Good Food team

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

40g butter, softened
1 tbsp runny honey (heather honey works well)
1 tsp crushed fennel seeds
600g baby carrots (Chantenay), large ones halved
½ bunch of parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Mash the butter in a bowl with the honey and fennel seeds. Cover and chill until needed. Can be prepared up to three days ahead.
  • Trim the tops off the carrots and wash under cold running water, scrubbing them with a clean scourer to get rid of any dirt. Put the carrots in a large, microwave-proof bowl with 2 tsp water. Cover the carrots with a microwaveable plate or lid and heat on full power for 5-6 mins until just tender. Drain, then toss with the honey and fennel butter and parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Baby carrots or small, tender carrots work best for this recipe. If using larger carrots, cut them into 2-inch pieces.
  • Don't overcrowd the microwave: Place the carrots in a single layer in the microwave-safe dish. Overcrowding will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly.
  • Use a microwave-safe dish with a lid: This will help the carrots steam and cook more evenly.
  • Cook the carrots in short intervals: Start by cooking the carrots for 2 minutes, then stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the carrots are tender-crisp.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

Glazed carrots in the microwave is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The carrots are cooked until tender-crisp and then coated in a sweet and savory glaze. This dish is perfect for busy weeknights or for potlucks and parties.
