  2. Add the carrots to your Only Pan.
  3. Pour in the sugar, salt, and star anise.
  4. Cover the carrots with water and cook over a medium heat for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
  5. Lift the carrots out of the Only Pan and turn up the heat to reduce the cooking liquid.
  6. Once it has reduced to a honey-like syrup, remove from the heat and pour over the carrots to serve.
