These Honey-Glazed (Stovetop) Carrots with fresh herbs can be prepped ahead and then quickly finished before serving. They're so delicious, they disappear like candy! That's a warning to make plenty!
Cover and reduce heat to medium and maintain a steady simmer. Cook until carrots are almost tender when poked with the tip of a paring knife, about 7-9 minutes (this will depend on the size of the carrot pieces).
Add the butter and honey. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender, the liquid evaporates, and the carrots are coated with the glaze. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves or finely chopped fresh rosemary over the carrots and cook for another minute, stirring several times.
Taste and season, if needed with more salt. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and the remaining ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme.
