Ingredients
- 4 carrots
- 1 tbsp olive oil optional
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- First prep your carrots. If you are using baby carrots, go ahead and slice them up. You want relatively thin slices.If you're using regular-sized carrots, first chop off the ends and then peel them. Next, chop into slices.
- Heat a skillet at high heat and add carrots and oil (if desired). Once the pan is heated up and the oil is sizzling, turn the heat down to medium high.
- Cook the carrot slices until softened, stirring every minute. This process will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Now it's time to add the seasonings: salt, pepper, cinnamon, and honey. Feel free to substitute in any seasonings you prefer. Stir the carrots to coat them in the ingredients.
- Once carrots are done cooking and are fully seasoned, turn off the heat.
- Using a spatula, move carrots from skillet to a serving plate or bowl.

Notes
- You may use olive or vegetable to cook the carrots. If using a nonstick pan, the oil is just to add flavor to the carrots.
- If the carrots brown too much while cooking, you can turn the heat down to medium so the middle of the carrots has a chance to soften.
- Be sure to stir carrots every minute or so while they cook. This ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
