GINGER LIME CARROTS

1 lb carrots, sliced 1/2-inch thick

1 tbsp water
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp grated lime peel
1/4 tsp ground ginger or 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Lime slices for garnish, optional

Combine the carrots and water in a 1 1/2-quart microwave-safe bowl. Cover and cook on high power 7 to 8 minutes until crisp tender. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine lime juice, butter, honey, lime peel and ginger; cover and microwave on high 1 minute. Drain the carrots and stir in the sauce mixture. Garnish with the lime slices, if using.
