Once the water is heated, add your carrots, butter, honey, lemon juice, salt, thyme, and garlic powder. Toss to coat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook until the carrots are softened - approximately 8-10 minutes.
Top with fresh cilantro, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
If you're working with large or dense carrots, consider blanching or parboiling them briefly before glazing. This can help speed up the cooking process and ensure the carrots are tender.
When cooking the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This ensures the carrots have enough space to caramelize and develop a nice glaze.
To add a finishing touch, consider garnishing the honey-glazed carrots with chopped fresh herbs or toasted nuts. This enhances the visual appeal and adds extra flavor and texture.
