In a quest to find the best way to cook honey glazed carrots, one home cook tested three methods: oven, air fryer, and hob. The winner was clear, with the hob method producing the tastiest and quickest results.
The oven method, a long-time favourite, took over an hour at 180°C. While the carrots were sweet and required little attention, they lacked the desired crispiness.
The air fryer, set to 180°C for 20 minutes, was faster but disappointing. The carrots cooked unevenly, and the glaze pooled at the bottom, failing to caramelise properly.
The hob method, however, was a revelation. Cooking carrots in oil for seven minutes, then adding honey, salt, and water for a further five minutes, produced perfectly glazed, tender carrots in just 15 minutes. The cook noted that this method was not only the quickest but also delivered the best flavour and texture.
For those preparing a Sunday roast, the hob method is recommended as the superior technique for honey glazed carrots.
