Description
Gordon Ramsay Carrots are a deliciously glazed side dish that elevates carrots with caramelization using butter, honey, and herbs for a sweet and savory flavor.
Ingredients
1 lb Fresh Carrots
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1-2 tablespoons Honey
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme or Rosemary
1-2 cloves Garlic (Optional)
1/4 cup Water or Vegetable Stock
Sea Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and cut them into even batons or diagonal slices
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine butter and olive oil
- Add the carrots to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they start to softe
- Drizzle honey over the carrots and add thyme or rosemary sprigs; stir gently to combine
- Deglaze the pan by adding water or vegetable stock to the skillet
- Increase heat slightly and let the liquid reduce, caramelizing the carrots
- Check tenderness with a fork; they should be tender but still slightly firm
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Garnish as desired and serve warm
Notes
Fresh, medium-sized carrots work best for retention of texture and flavor.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper caramelization.
Use the right balance of honey and seasoning to enhance the dish.
