Place 1⁄2 cup of water, 2 tbl unsalted butter, the honey, 2 tsp salt and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring ot a boil. Add the carrots, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until all the water has evaporated.
Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing well. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste.
