- 1 pound slender or baby (not baby-cut) carrots (preferably in a variety of colors)
- 1 tablespoon mild olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions

Peel the carrots, trim the leafy tops, and leave the carrots whole.

In a large skillet, preferably nonstick, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, shaking the pan often to ensure they cook evenly, for 5 minutes. The carrots should be somewhat softened but not yet tender throughout.

Drizzle with the honey, toss to coat evenly, and continue to cook until just tender, 2 minutes or more, depending on the size.

Season the carrots with the salt, transfer to a platter, and watch them disappear.
