Appliance: Multicooker
Serves: 6
Total Time: ~15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 ½ tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- Zest of 1 small orange
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1 – Prepare the Carrots
- Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place the collapsible steamer basket inside. Put the baby carrots into the basket, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Step 2 – Pressure Cook the Carrots
- Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure release valve to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 4 to 5 minutes. For tender-crisp carrots, cook for 4 minutes; for very soft carrots, set the timer for 5 minutes. Once the time is up, perform a quick release.
Step 3 – Make the Glaze

Step 4 – Coat the Carrots
- Add the cooked carrots back to the Instant Pot and stir gently to coat them evenly with the honey glaze.
Step 5 – Serve
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for a delicious, sweet side dish!
