GINGER AND HONEY GLAZED CARROTS



Ginger and Honey Glazed Carrots image

Another recipe for a not so local Farmers' Market here in our state. Wish I could go to it every Saturday. I've not tried this but don't want to misplace the recipe.

Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 cups water
3 lbs young fresh baby carrots, with tops trimmed to 2 inches (peeled or scrubbed, or 3 pounds packaged baby carrots)
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
4 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • In a 12- or 14-inch heavy skillet bring water to boiling, add carrots.
  • Return to boiling; reduce heat.
  • Cover and simmer about 10 to 12 minutes or until carrots are just tender and drain.
  • (I prefer to use my Cuisinart Turbo Convection Steamer ).
  • Carefully turn out onto prepared baking sheet.
  • (When green tops are left on carrots during cooking, they become very fragile. As the carrots cook, some of the tops may come off.).
  • Pat dry with additional paper towels.
  • To glaze carrots, in the same heavy skillet combine margarine, honey, ginger, and salt.
  • Stir constantly over medium heat until margarine is melted.
  • Carefully add carrots.
  • Toss gently for 2 to 3 minutes or until carrots are thoroughly coated with glaze and heated through completely.
  • To serve, arrange carrots in a shallow bowl or on a platter; drizzle with remaining glaze from pan.

HONEY & GINGER GLAZED CARROTS



Honey & Ginger Glazed Carrots image

A delicious glaze over boiled carrots. Makes a simple veggie a little special. The carrots can be steamed or microwaved until cooked. The glaze is prepared separately and poured over the cooked carrots to coat. You can either slice your carrots or use whole baby carrots, If you're not a ginger fan then you can use garlic in place of the ginger. If you have an Italian style dish the garlic can be a good substitute for the ginger called for in this recipe

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

500 g carrots, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons butter

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the honey at the end of cooking: This will prevent the honey from burning and becoming bitter.

Conclusion:

This simple yet flavorful recipe is a great way to enjoy carrots. The ginger and honey add a delicious sweetness and spice that complements the natural sweetness of the carrots. This dish can be served as a side dish or as a snack. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium.
