From a very early age, we’re taught that we should make our plates colourful by adding vegetables to our dinner. These vegetable sides don’t have to be boring! This time, I’m coming with a recipe for honey glazed carrots, seasoned with freshly squeezed orange juice, rosemary and thyme. They’re soft and delicate and make a perfect side for chicken dishes (but not only those!).

For 2 servings you’ll need:

• 1 large or 2 medium carrots or a handful of baby carrots
• water to cook the carrots
• 1 tablespoon honey
• juice from half an orange or one tangerine
• rosemary and thyme – a sprinkle of each (I used dried rosemary and thyme)

Start by chopping up the carrots – I like to have them in very thick matchsticks.

Move them to a pan and cover with water. Bring the water to simmer and cook your carrots until soft (poke them with a fork to check) – it should take around 5-10 minutes, but the time will differ depending on the size of carrot pieces.

When the carrots are soft but not all water has evaporated, drain them. Put them back on the same pan, add orange/tangerine juice, honey, rosemary and thyme. Fry them on low heat for a few minutes, until the carrots are evenly covered with the honey glaze and there’s no excess liquid on the pan (in other words, make sure the water from orange juice has evaporated).

Serve warm. Enjoy! 🙂
