- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Preparation

- Cook in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.

Serving suggestions & tips
- For a spicy and smoky twist, add some chipotle adobo sauce to mixture before cooking.
- Add some grated ginger for a more flavorful side dish.
- If using baby carrots, make sure to microwave with the lid slightly ajar, as the extra moisture in them can cause the dish to be watery.
- For a lighter version of this side dish, use olive oil instead of butter.
- For a vegan version of this side dish, substitute the butter and honey for olive oil and maple syrup.
