Vibrant Honey-Dijon Carrot Stir Fry

Ingredients

- 6 large carrots, peeled and julienned
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

2. Preheat the Pan:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.

3. Sauté the Carrots:
Add the julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir frequently, ensuring even cooking, for about 5-7 minutes or until the carrots are tender-crisp.

4. Add the Sauce:
Pour the prepared honey-Dijon sauce over the sautéed carrots. Stir to coat the carrots evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken and the carrots are fully glazed.

5. Finish with Fresh Herbs:
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the carrots and toss gently to incorporate.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer the vibrant carrot stir fry to a serving dish. Serve immediately, and enjoy the balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
