Ingredients:
– 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the carrot sticks and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until they are just tender. Drain the carrots and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the grated ginger and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
