BABY CARROTS WITH TARRAGON
A simple, tasty side dish from Bon Appetit, April 1995. I cook the carrots a little longer than what is stated because they are a little too crunchy for us otherwise.

HONEY-GLAZED BABY CARROTS
Steps:
- In a steamer set over boiling water steam the carrots for 4 to 8 minutes, or until they are just tender, and transfer them to a bowl. In a skillet melt the butter with the honey and the lemon juice, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and add the carrots. Cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed evenly and heated through, and season it with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose tender baby carrots: Look for small, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
- Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots clean under cold water, then use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of skin.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly. You can cut them into rounds, slices, or sticks.
- Use fresh tarragon: Fresh tarragon has a more intense flavor than dried tarragon. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Baby carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Conclusion:
Honey tarragon glazed baby carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The carrots are coated in a sweet and tangy glaze that is made with honey, tarragon, butter, and lemon juice. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
