Growing up, if you had told me that I would become a fan of carrots and channel my inner Bugs Bunny, I probably would have laughed and told you that you were beyond crazy. Carrots and I are definitely not mixy things – or so I thought until an Easter holiday.
When looking for quick and easy sides to go with my Bourbon Cider Glazed Ham, I thought “Sunny Anderson always has the best sides!” Sure enough, it was Sunny to the rescue with her Honey Glazed Carrots.
This recipe is so simple and comes together quickly but the real kicker is the lemon. That burst of citrus cuts through the sweetness of the honey and adds the perfect tang to this dish. When you are looking for a way to get the little ones to eat their carrots, try these scrumptious Honey Glazed Carrots and be amazed when they ask for seconds.

- 1 pound of baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons of honey
