20 baby carrots
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon white vinegar

Instructions

Prepare carrots by placing a steamer insert in a saucepan with water just below the steamer's bottom, then bring to a boil. Add baby carrots, cover, and steam for 3-6 minutes until tender. Transfer cooked carrots to a serving dish.
For the vanilla glaze, combine honey, butter, vanilla extract, and vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds, then stir until well combined. Pour the warm glaze over the steamed carrots, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
