- In the meantime, add the butter and honey to a large sauté pan over low heat and swirl the pan to melt the butter and honey together and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Place in the carrots and gently toss to coat.
- Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.

Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten as soon as they are done. You can keep them in a pot covered in the oven at 225° for up to 1 hour before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze these covered for up to 3 months, but they may become mushy very quickly when reheating.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of carrots to a medium-size saucepot with a ½ cup of chicken or vegetable stock and heat over low heat until warmed. Re-season if they need it.
- You can substitute out the honey for maple syrup or brown sugar.
- Feel free to substitute for regular carrots or trimmed down pre-packaged baby carrots.
