Laziest Side Ever: 5 Minute Honey Carrots (GF, DF, Egg, Soy, Peanut/Tree nut Free, Top 8 Free, Vegan, Paleo) by Allergy Awesomeness

This is the side dish I make when I don’t want to adult.  It takes five minutes, has three ingredients, and uses a microwave. I don’t know how much simpler it could get.

Sometimes you just don’t feel like spending a lot of time cooking.  You still want something homemade, but your kids have been crazy, or your day has run long.  I’ll do an easy protein, some rice and then I’m still in need of a veggie.  This is what I reach for when I don’t really want to adult.

We do have four safe restaurants, but to be honest, I get sick of them, and to me, eating out–even at restaurants that we’ve had good success with, is still a calculated risk for cross contact.  So, just not cooking is usually not an option I feel I have the luxury of taking.

I’m not a fan of using the microwave, but sometimes when you don’t feel like adulting you do what you gotta do!

Since half of my family is littles, I usually do one carrot per person, but you can always adjust as needed.

Remember that coconut oil solidifies as it gets colder, so if you have leftovers you’ll need to heat it up again.

This is no Michelin star recipe. I almost didn’t post it–but pride gets you nowhere.  I know I can’t be the only one doing easy sides to make it through a busy day.  Hope this helps you guys on your busy days too!

Laziest Side Ever: 5 Minute Honey Carrots (GF, DF, Egg, Soy, Peanut/Tree nut Free, Top 8 Free, Vegan, Paleo)

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 1 minute
Cook Time: 4 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

This is the side dish I make when I don't want to adult. It takes five minutes, has three ingredients, and uses a microwave. I don't know how much simpler it could get.

Ingredients

  • 4 carrots, washed and sliced
  • 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 Tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Put the carrots, oil, and honey in a microwave safe bowl and stir. Microwave for 2 minutes and then stir. Put back in the microwave for two more minutes, or until fork tender. Stir before serving.

Notes

The cooking time may need to be adjusted depending on how thick you cut your carrots, and how high your microwave cooks.

      Yes, we did these for Easter dinner last year. After the ham, dessert and other sides are made, it was all I had energy for!
