Glazed Vegetables
A medley of root vegetables glazed to perfection in a butter-honey sauce. This versatile side dish brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables like beets, carrots, parsnips, or fennel.
Ingredients
- •1 pound vegetables (such as quartered, peeled small beets; halved, peeled medium carrots or parsnips; or 2 small fennel bulbs, cut into 8 wedges)
- •2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- •2 teaspoons honey
- •1 pinch Kosher salt
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Combine vegetables, butter, honey, a generous pinch of salt, and 1 cup water in a large sauté pan or saucepan over medium-high. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook, adding water by the tablespoonful if pan is dry before vegetables are done, until vegetables are nearly crisp-tender (they should still be firm in the center), 12-15 minutes. Remove lid and cook until liquid evaporates completely, about 5 minutes, then continue to cook, tossing vegetables occasionally, until browned in the remaining butter and honey, about 5 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp. water and toss vegetables to deglaze pan and coat; season with salt.
