Notes
- PRO TIP: Make more than you need and add these carrots to your pasta dishes and other dishes to make them extra special!
- If using whole carrots, do not slice into strips as this will make the carrot too thin and it will be over mushy.
- Drain the carrots before adding the honey and butter for a thicker, sweeter glaze.
- For more sweetness, add a teaspoon or two of brown or white sugar.
- If you don't have broth or broth concentrate, then simply add water. You have to add water to pressure cookers.
- You can double this recipe many times over. Do not fill your pressure cooker more than ¾ full or past the maximum fill line.
- Substitute Italian Seasoning for Dried Thyme as needed.
