Cravings – Hungry For More: Spicy Honey-Butter Carrots

Another recipe from Chrissy Teigan who, as you saw previously, I love, from her newest cookbook, Cravings: Hungry For More.

I’ve made these carrots thrice: once in my test run, once for extended family Thanksgivmas, and once for Christmas. (They were requested by Mom!)

These are super easy, super yummy, and if anyone asks you if they’re healthy, you can say, “Well…more or less!”

Spicy Honey-Butter Carrot Coins

Serves 4
From Cravings: Hungry For More

Ingredients

• 1 ¹/₂ lbs. carrots, peeled and cut into coins
• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 1 ¹/₂ Tbsp. honey
• ¹/₂ tsp. cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
• Salt & pepper to taste
  
  

1. Combine the carrots and ¹/₂ cup water in a large saucepan. Cover and cook without removing lid for 15 minutes, checking at 10 minutes to make sure there’s still water left. If the bottom of the pan is dry, add some water.
2. Uncover, and drain off any remaining water.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add honey, butter, cayenne, ¹/₂ tsp. salt, and ¹/₄ tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the carrots are glazed, about 2 minutes.
4. Season with more salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
   
   

Oh, and remember our poor, lonely fish from Monday?
