These sweet and spiced cinnamon carrots are a warm, tasty side dish that’s perfect for holidays or everyday dinners. The combination of honey, cinnamon, and ginger gives them a cozy, slightly exotic flavor twist!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
2 lbs. carrots, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1-2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches each)
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. ground ginger
56 Tbsp. honey (to taste)
4 tsp. lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
  2. Add sliced carrots, cinnamon sticks, cumin, and ginger.
  3. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until carrots start to soften.
  4. Stir in honey and lemon juice.
  5. Uncover and cook for a few more minutes, allowing the remaining water to evaporate and the carrots to become tender and glazed.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, you can let the carrots caramelize slightly at the end.

  • Try adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

  • These cinnamon carrots go well with roasted meats or holiday main dishes!
