Glazed Carrots with Goat Cheese and Honey
Glazed Carrots with Goat Cheese and Honey is a beautifully flavored side dish that is so colorful and delicious! Sautéing carrots with herbs and spices and then caramelizing in honey creates a mouthwatering accompaniment to any main course. Top it with a lemony gremolata and it’s hard to beat for flavor and beauty!
The carrots are sautéed in butter and olive oil, along with garlic, tarragon, thyme, rosemary and all of the spices. Cook them about 12 minutes, until the carrots are golden.
Add honey and continue to cook until they are lightly caramelized. Add apple cider vinegar and cook a couple of minutes more. Finally, add the chicken stock and cook, covered, for another 10 minutes until the carrots are tender and the liquid is syrupy.
To make the gremolata, combine the chopped parsley with the tarragon, garlic, lemon zest and olive oil and set aside.
To serve, spread the goat cheese on a platter and drizzle it with honey. Fan out the carrots over the cheese and top with the gremolata. Sprinkle some flaky sea salt over and serve!
