Serves 8

2 pounds multi color carrots, peeled and trimmed
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1 pinch sea salt
handfuls walnuts (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Balsamic Glaze (for drizzling)

Place carrots in a large saute pan with the water, over high heat.
Add butter, honey, and agave nectar to the pan. Bring to a boil.
Turn heat to med- low, and cover the carrots.
Cook for about 12 -14 minutes, giving the pan a shake once in awhile to let carrots evenly glaze. The butter/agave/honey will start to caramelize as the carrots become softer. Add water if needed.
Turn off heat, and sprinkle a little sea salt over carrots, then drizzle carrots with balsamic glaze.
Garnish with parsley and walnuts, and serve.
