Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds baby carrots, cleaned, washed and trimmed
1/3 cup smoked sugar or smoked maple syrup
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1 cup Italian parsley leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the carrots: Place the carrots in a 10-inch saute pan. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the sugar or maple syrup and salt. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue to simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened to a syrup and the carrots are fork tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in the butter. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  • For the gremolata: Meanwhile, mix together the walnuts, parsley, thyme, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl.
  • To serve, gently toss the carrots to coat them in the thickened syrup. Spoon them onto a platter and sprinkle with half of the gremolata. Serve the remaining gremolata on the side.

Lemon-Basil Carrots image

THIS IS one of my favorite ways to prepare carrots-simple but flavorful. I devised this recipe since we always seem to have carrots on hand, and the dish has drawn quite a few compliments.

HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS WITH CARROT TOP GREMOLATA



Honey-Glazed Carrots with Carrot Top Gremolata image

Dark honeys, like buckwheat, bring a touch of earthy sweetness to these lightly glazed beauties. The gremolata, made with the frilly green carrot tops, make a delicious and pretty finishing touch while adding to your #wasteless repertoire. If bunched carrots with tops aren't available, use parsley for the gremolata instead.

HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS



Honey-Glazed Carrots image

These sweet, citrusy carrots are an ideal accompaniment to savory, hearty main dishes, like Ebony's stewed chicken and dumplings from the magazine's first food editor, Freda DeKnight. This adaptation streamlines the usage of a pot and baking dish in the original and requires only a single ovenproof skillet. The dish tastes just the same and reflects Ms. DeKnight's commitment to fresh ingredients and vibrants flavors in her cooking.

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 to 8 carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon butter
Salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Fill an ovenproof skillet that can fit the carrots with 1 to 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots and add more water if needed to cover the carrots. Reduce the heat to simmer the carrots until they're tender but not soft, about 15 minutes.

  • Bake, gently rolling the carrots once, until the carrots are glazed, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and sprinkle with parsley.
