Ingredients:

• 1 lb baby carrots

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 tbsp honey

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 Instructions:

1. Cook the carrots:
   Steam or boil baby carrots until just tender, about 5–7 minutes. Drain well.

2. Make the glaze:
   In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in honey, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).

3. Glaze the carrots:
   Add cooked carrots to the skillet. Toss gently to coat evenly in the honey butter glaze. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are fully coated and shiny.

4. Serve:
   Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
