Description
A quick and easy recipe for perfectly glazed carrots and green beans, elevating fall vegetables with a sweet honey glaze and a touch of lemon zest.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil, for dairy-free folks)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 piece lemon, zest from half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (give or take)
Optional Garnishes
- sesame seeds (for topping)
- fresh herbs (for topping)
- cracked black pepper (for topping)
Instructions
Preparation
- Get a big skillet hot and melt the butter (or olive oil).
- Toss in the carrots, sauté for about five minutes.
- Add green beans, garlic, lemon zest, and salt. Keep things moving.
- Drizzle in your honey and stir everything so the glaze coats the veggies.
- Cook another 5-8 minutes until the veggies are tender but not falling apart.

Notes
To keep carrots and green beans crisp-tender, avoid overcooking. Adjust the cook time for thicker carrot slices and fresh veggies work best.
