- Cook the carrots until just tender, then drain well.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and stir in the honey.
- Add the cooked carrots and toss until evenly coated in the honey-butter glaze.
- Continue cooking for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and the carrots are glossy.
- Season with salt and black pepper, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
