Take a breather from roasting. Our stovetop method for this glazed vegetables recipe yields glossy, tender results and works on basically any firm veg.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 pound vegetables (such as quartered, peeled small beets; halved, peeled medium carrots or parsnips; or 2 small fennel bulbs, cut into 8 wedges)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Combine vegetables, butter, honey, a generous pinch of salt, and 1 cup water in a large sauté pan or saucepan over medium-high. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook, adding water by the tablespoonful if pan is dry before vegetables are done, until vegetables are nearly crisp-tender (they should still be firm in the center), 12–15 minutes. Remove lid and cook until liquid evaporates completely, about 5 minutes, then continue to cook, tossing vegetables occasionally, until browned in the remaining butter and honey, about 5 minutes. Add 1 Tbsp. water and toss vegetables to deglaze pan and coat; season with salt.
