Ruth’s Chris Honey Butter Glazed Carrots – Steakhouse Side

Instructions:

  1. Add the carrots and water to a large skillet over medium heat. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the carrots are just fork-tender.
  2. Drain off any remaining water from the skillet.
  3. Add the butter, honey, and brown sugar to the carrots.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring gently, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and white pepper.
  6. Toss the carrots until fully coated and shiny.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Variations

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a subtle warm spice note.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey for a deeper sweetness.
  • Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the glaze.
  • Add a splash of cream at the end for an extra-luxurious finish.

Tips

  • Do not overcook the carrots in the first step; they should be tender but not mushy.
  • Let the glaze thicken slowly so it coats evenly and does not burn.
  • Stir gently to avoid breaking the carrots.
  • Serve immediately for the best glossy texture and flavor.
