Steps

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drizzle honey over the carrots and onions, mixing well to coat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the carrots are tender and glazed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for Honey-Glazed Carrots and Onions

Cut the carrot into evenly sized slices so they soften at a similar pace.
Use a broad skillet to keep the vegetables in a fairly even layer and encourage browning.
The glaze is ready when it clings to the vegetables and the onions look glossy; watch closely near the end so the honey does not scorch.
