Glazed Carrot Fries: A Crispy, Sweet Snack Delight

Ingredients

- 6 medium carrots, peeled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare Carrots: Slice each carrot into even sticks, roughly 1/4-inch thick, akin to French fries.

2. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

3. Heat Oil: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.

4. Cook Carrots: Add the carrot sticks to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they're evenly distributed. Sauté for approximately PT5M (5 minutes), stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and slightly brown.

5. Add Glaze: Pour the prepared honey-soy glaze over the carrots. Toss the carrots to ensure they are fully coated with the glaze.

6. Glaze Carrots: Continue to cook the carrots for an additional PT5M (5 minutes), stirring frequently. The glaze should bubble and thicken, coating the carrots evenly, while the carrots reach a tender yet slightly crisp texture.

7. Serve: Once coated and caramelized, remove the carrots from heat. Transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
