Ingredients
- 1 pound of baby carrots
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by washing the baby carrots thoroughly in cold water. This removes any dirt and ensures they are clean for cooking.
- Plug in your Instant Pot and add the baby carrots directly to the inner pot.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons of honey over the carrots. The combination of vinegar and honey will create the perfect sweet and tangy glaze.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the mixture. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. These seasonings will enhance the natural sweetness of the carrots.
- Seal the Instant Pot with the lid and turn the knob to the ‘Sealing’ position. Select the ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ setting, and set the timer for 4 minutes.
- Once the timer beeps, carefully switch the knob to the ‘Venting’ position for a Quick Release. Ensure you keep your face and hands away from the steam as it can be very hot.
- Open the lid once the pressure has fully released. Stir the carrots gently to coat them evenly in the glaze.
- Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Instant Pot Balsamic Glazed Carrots!
