Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 pound baby carrots, tops removed but with a little green left attached (it's cute)
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 clove garlic, smashed
3 sprigs thyme, picked
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
  • To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring the pan to medium heat swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, removed the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the carrots are completely coated and hot.
  • So good for my eyes!

SIMPLE HONEY GLAZED CARROTS



Simple Honey Glazed Carrots image

Make and share this Simple Honey Glazed Carrots recipe from Food.com.

Provided by AshleyP

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2 pounds carrots, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2-2 lbs baby carrots
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/2 lemon, juice of
fresh ground black pepper or chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Rinse carrots under cold water and put in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and add salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and continue cooking for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a saute pan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add honey and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and gently stir in carrots, coating well. Continue heating, gently stirring, until carrots are hot and glazed. Serve immediately garnished with freshly ground pepper or chopped parsley, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for small, tender baby carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too large or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel the carrots: While baby carrots are often sold pre-peeled, it's best to peel them yourself to ensure they are clean and free of any blemishes.
  • Use a neutral-flavored oil: Canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil are all good choices for this recipe. Avoid using olive oil, as it can overpower the delicate flavor of the carrots.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the carrots, make sure to use a large skillet so that the carrots have enough room to brown evenly. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the carrots from caramelizing properly.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking the carrots will make them mushy.
  • Make the glaze: The glaze is what gives these carrots their sweet and tangy flavor. Be sure to use a high-quality balsamic vinegar and honey. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Toss the carrots in the glaze: Once the glaze is made, toss the carrots in it until they are evenly coated. This will help the glaze stick to the carrots and give them a glossy finish.

Conclusion:

These easy glazed baby carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, and the glaze adds a touch of sweetness and tang. This recipe is also very easy to make, so it's perfect for busy cooks.
