Honey Glazed Carrot Slices


Makes 4 side servings
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced on the bias
About 4-6 large slices of fresh ginger (if you don't have fresh, use 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
2 tbsp butter
4 tbsp honey
Salt and pepper

In a pot fitted with a steamer basket, steam the carrots with the fresh ginger slices until the carrots are just tender (if you are using ground ginger, wait for the next step).
In a separate pan, melt together the honey and butter until it comes to a boil. Toss in the carrots and ginger slices(here's where you would add the ground ginger), and toss everything to coat. Season the carrots with salt and pepper.
DO NOT EAT THE GINGER SLICES!! They are only for flavor.
Serve the carrots immediately.

*This is such an easy side dish to make. It takes an otherwise boring vegetable side dish and turns up the volume just enough to make the flavors pop in your mouth. The fresh ginger adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the dish that you will just love. But yes, please don't eat the fresh ginger. If you used ground ginger, you can eat that :)

May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. 2 Thessalonians 3:5
