Ingredients:

1 cup carrots
100g
1/4 cup vinegar
60g
1.50 tbsp sugar
18g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Wash and peel the baby carrots if necessary. You can also cut them into smaller pieces if desired for quicker cooking.
2. Carrot Cooking:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the baby carrots to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm.
- Drain the carrots and set them aside.
3. Honey-Glaze Preparation:
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the cooked carrots to the skillet. Sauté them for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to develop a slight golden color.
4. Sweet-and-Sour Mixture:
- Add 1/4 cup vinegar to the skillet with the carrots.
- Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of sugar over the carrots and stir to combine the ingredients evenly.

5. Glazing Process:
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the vinegar and sugar mixture thickens and forms a glaze that coats the carrots. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Make sure the carrots are well-coated with the sweet-and-sour glaze for a consistent flavor throughout.
6. Finishing Touches:
- Once the glaze has achieved your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a pinch of salt or some fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the honey-glazed sweet-and-sour baby carrots to a serving dish.
- Serve them warm as a delicious side dish to complement your main course.

Tips:

- Choose fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture.

- Make sure to evenly coat the carrots with the glaze for maximum taste.

- Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference if you prefer more or less sweetness.

- For an added twist, you can sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or dill before serving.

- Serve the carrots warm for the best taste experience.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, honey-glazed sweet baby carrots can elevate any meal. This recipe is quick, easy, and sure to become a favorite go-to side dish. Enjoy your delicious, flavorful carrots with family and friends!
