Ingredients:

  • 1- pound (455 g) trimmed, peeled slender carrots, cut into 4 to 6-inch (10 cm to 15 cm) lengths, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice syrup
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped flat-leaf parsley; optional

Preparation:

  1. Choose a wide sauté pan that will generously accommodate the amount of carrots. Fill with a couple of inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add carrots and cook for a few minutes or until just tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Drain well.
  2. Wipe out the pan and return to the stove over low heat and add the butter, honey, and rice syrup. Stir together and cook until the butter melts, then add the lemon juice and the carrots, tossing well to coat. Turn heat up a bit and cook the carrots, turning them over now and then, until they are crisp tender and have some char marks here and there. Season well with salt and pepper and toss one more time, then transfer to your serving dish or individual plates and serve immediately. Sprinkle with optional parsley if you like.

Notes:

FODMAP Information

Our recipes are based on Monash University and FODMAP Friendly science.

  • Carrots: Carrots have been lab tested and deemed low FODMAP by both Monash University and FODMAP Friendly. According to Monash carrots contain no FODMAPs.
  • Honey: Honey has been lab tested by both FODMAP Friendly and Monash University. FODMAP Friendly gives it a “Fail” at 2 teaspoons (15 g). Monash says that while clover honey specifically is only low FODMAP at ½ teaspoon (3 g), they state that honey is low FODMAP in 1 teaspoon (7 g) amounts.
  • Lemon Juice: Monash University has lab tested lemon juice and it is low FODMAP in 1/2 cup (125 g) amounts.
  • Rice Syrup: Called Rice malt syrup in the Monash University app, this not-too-sweet liquid sweetener has been shown to contain no FODMAPs in lab testing. It is sometimes referred to as rice syrup or brown rice syrup.

Please always refer to the Monash University & FODMAP Friendly smartphone apps for the most up-to-date lab tested information. Foods will be retested from time to time; in the case of raw ingredients, such as fruits and vegetables, results may vary. All lab tested results are valid and represent a snapshot in time. As always, your tolerance is what counts; please eat accordingly. The ultimate goal of the low FODMAP diet is to eat as broadly as possible, without triggering symptoms, for the healthiest microbiome.
