Honey sage carrots

Dietitian's tip:

To test carrots for doneness, pull out a slice while boiling and check it for tenderness.

Ingredients

1. 2 cups sliced carrots
2. 2 teaspoons butter
3. 2 tablespoons honey
4. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
5. 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6. 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add carrots and boil for about 5 minutes until fork tender. Drain and set aside. Preheat a medium saute pan and add butter. Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, add carrots, honey, sage, pepper and salt. Saute for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and serve.
