Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby carrots
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • freshly chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the carrots, water, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into the Instant Pot. Gently stir to coat the carrots.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure that the valve is set to "sealing." Cook on manual high pressure for 6 minutes. Once the timer has gone off, carefully turn the valve to perform a quick release of the pressure.
  • Once the pin has dropped, open the lid. Spoon the carrots and your preferred amount of liquid into a bowl and drizzle the carrots with honey and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm. 

Notes

  • There will be liquid in the Instant Pot when the carrots are done cooking. It is very flavorful so you can use it to baste the carrots before serving. 
  • How to Store: Store leftover carrots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
