Ingredients

2 pounds carrots scrubbed and cleaned
3 tbsp oil of choice or butter
3 tbsp honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
pinch sea salt + more to sprinkle on top
½ cup feta cheese crumbled
pomegranate optional

Instructions

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add oil/butter.
Once the skillet is hot, add the carrots.
Give them a nice stir, so they are coated well with the oil/butter.
Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to get a nice char on each side.
Next, add 2-3 tb water and mix well.
Reduce the heat to low and place a cover (or plate, upside down) for 5 minutes.
Remove the cover (or plate) and give the carrots a final toss.
They should look crispy on the outside.
Next, remove the pan from heat and stir in the honey and balsamic vinegar.
Once the carrots have cooled, then top with the crumbled feta cheese and pomegranate (if using).
Enjoy!

Notes

If you want to cut the carrots into buttons instead of whole carrots, you can do that. Just cut the carrots into 1/2 inch thick coins and follow the exact directions.
