Glazed Carrots and Brussels Sprouts image

I made this recipe for my mother's birthday over 20 years ago. Everyone loved the Brussels sprouts! Then I lost the recipe. Recently as I was going through my mother's recipe cards, I found the copy I made for her. I had forgotten what an attractive dish this is. It is as good as I remember and best of all, it still gets rave reviews!

Carrots really lend themselves to the fresh tangy taste of orange juice, and this recipe couldn't be simpler to prepare.

Provided by TasteTester

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon butter
1 lb carrot, sliced 1/4-inch thick on the diagnol
1 cup water (or enough to cover by one inch)
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 /. to 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Place water and carrots into a saucepan. Heat to boiling, cover pan, and simmer on medium for about 7-8 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp. Drain carrots and transfer to a nonstick skillet.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Baby carrots or medium-sized carrots work best for this recipe. Avoid using large carrots, as they may take longer to cook and may not caramelize as well.
  • Trim the brussels sprouts: Trim the ends of the brussels sprouts and remove any loose leaves. If the brussels sprouts are large, you can cut them in half or quarters.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: This recipe calls for a combination of orange, lemon, and grapefruit zest. Feel free to use other citrus fruits, such as tangerine or lime, to add a different flavor profile.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots and brussels sprouts, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Once the carrots and brussels sprouts are roasted, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
