Recipe

You'll be fighting over this bowl of sweet sauteed carrots with fresh sage and honey.

Serves 4

To test carrots for doneness, pull out a slice while boiling and check it for tenderness.

Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add carrots and boil for about 5 minutes until fork tender. Drain and set aside. Preheat a medium saute pan and add butter. Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, add carrots, honey, sage, pepper and salt. Saute for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and serve.

2 cups sliced carrots
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
