Ingredients

First, gather your ingredients. 

For this recipe, you’ll need one pound of carrots, salt, pepper, olive oil, honey, and sesame seeds. 

First, peel and slice your carrots into discs. If you have any very large carrot pieces, slice those in half to cut down on cooking time. 

Next, add your olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add your carrots, salt, and pepper, then stir to coat. 

Allow your carrots to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they can be pierced through with a fork. 

Next, add your honey and sesame seeds and toss your carrots to coat. Allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until glaze has thickened slightly.
