Tips:

  • Select young, tender carrots: Look for carrots that are smooth, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, shriveled, or have blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Then, trim the ends of the carrots.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into rounds, halves, or quarters.
  • Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the glaze. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't boil the carrots: Boiling the carrots will make them mushy. Instead, cook them in a mixture of bourbon, butter, and honey until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Bourbon-glazed carrots are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a side dish or as an appetizer.

Conclusion:

Bourbon-glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of bourbon, butter, and honey creates a sweet and savory glaze that coats the carrots perfectly. These carrots are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
