GLAZED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER
When carrots are cooked, it's often a sad affair. They are boiled to death and presented almost as an apology. Yet when they're treated with the respect they deserve, even ordinary supermarket carrots can be among the most reliable and enjoyable of vegetables, especially from fall through spring. This braise-and-glaze technique can be varied at will and can also be used with other roots, like beets, turnips and radishes. Once you have the hang of the technique, changing the flavorings is a snap. Try substituting a mixture of half balsamic vinegar, half water or soy sauce similarly diluted for the orange juice, adding a few cloves of peeled garlic with the carrots. Or add a half cup or so of chopped onions, shallots, scallions or leeks, or of chopped pitted dates or raisins, dried currants or even dried tomatoes.

GINGER-GLAZED CARROTS
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.

GINGER GLAZED CARROTS
Steps:
- 1. Combine carrots, ginger, thyme, chicken broth, butter, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds black pepper in a 12-inch straight-sided sautée pan or Dutch oven and place over high heat. When liquid boils, cover and cook stirring occasionally, until carrots are almost completely tender (carrots should give very little resistance when poked with a cake tester or knife), about 10 minutes. If liquid drops to below 1/2-inch during cooking, top up with a cup of hot water. 2. Remove lid and continue cooking carrots at a rapid boil. Combine cornstarch with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and stir with a fork until homogenous. Pour cornstarch mixture into carrots and stir to combine. Continue cooking until sauce is reduced to a syrupy glaze. Pick out thyme sprigs and discard. Off heat, add lemon juice and stir to combine. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve. Printed from http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/11/gingery-glazed-
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture. Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes or bruises.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you add the carrots to the pan, make sure there is enough space for them to cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the carrots will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Roast the carrots at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Make the ginger glaze while the carrots are roasting: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop a rich flavor. In a small saucepan, combine the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Toss the carrots in the ginger glaze: Once the carrots are roasted, remove them from the oven and toss them in the ginger glaze. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Ginger glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, then tossed in a flavorful ginger glaze. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
