Ingredients

16 ounces carrots
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Scrub and rinse your carrots. Slice carrots into thick coins, slicing any very large coins in half to create half-moons.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. When oil is warm, add carrots, salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are lightly browned on all sides and almost cooked through.
Add honey and toasted sesame seeds to pan. Stir to coat carrots. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until sauce thickens slightly and carrots can be easily pierced through with a fork. Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

Carrot shapes: Recipe can be made with baby carrots or carrot sticks, which can cause the cooking times to vary. Cook carrots during step 2 until they are almost cooked through, then continue with step 3.
Glaze variations: Honey can be substituted with an equal amount of brown sugar or maple syrup.
Leftovers: Leftover carrots will keep for 3 to 4 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
