The flavorings dress up an "ordinary" vegetable, and put some real zip in any meal! This is an easy, quick dish to make, and it adds a splash of color to your table.

Ginger-Glazed Carrots image

The easiest, yummiest carrots you will ever eat! The recipe is just so quick and easy to make. My husband grew up hating carrots, but he is willing to try anything. When he tasted these, he asked, "What in the world did my mother do to carrots to make them so bad? These are delicious!" He now requests them ... usually about twice a week.

CARROTS WITH GINGER



Carrots with Ginger image

Categories     Ginger     Vegetable     Side     Orange     Carrot     Fall     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place carrots, orange juice, butter, sugar and ginger in large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to boil; cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover and simmer until liquid glazes carrots, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose young, tender carrots: Look for carrots that are smooth, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, have blemishes, or are cracked.
  • Peel and cut the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more pungent flavor than ground ginger. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the carrots in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender-crisp: You don't want the carrots to be mushy, so cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Season the carrots to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of honey for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Fresh ginger carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. They are also a great way to add more vegetables to your diet. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give fresh ginger carrots a try!
