1 tablespoon organic virgin olive oil

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add carrots and onion slices; cook, stirring once, until the vegetables begin to brown, approximately 2 minutes. Add broth, orange zest, cayenne pepper, fresh orange juice, and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until crisp-tender, 10 minutes. Uncover, and cook over medium-high until carrots are tender and liquid is syrupy, 7 to 9 minutes more (there should be only a small amount of liquid remaining). Remove skillet from heat; add butter, honey and swirl skillet until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 6
