Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds carrots, peeled and trimmed, sliced on the bias 1/3-inch thick
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lime zest
1/4 cup grade A medium amber or dark amber maple syrup
1 tablespoon lime juice
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour cold tap water into a large pot fitted with a steamer basket to a depth of 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, add the carrots, cover and cook just until the carrots have lightened in color and are barely tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter until frothy and add the shallot and lime zest. Sauté, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the shallot is translucent, but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, maple syrup, lime juice and a pinch of salt and stir to coat. When the mixture begins to bubble, continue to simmer 6 to 8 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half and is syrupy.
  • Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until the edges of the carrots have just begun to brown, about 5 minutes. Finish the dish with a sprinkling of salt and a few coarse grinds of black pepper.

I like to make this side dish when I want to add some color to my meal. The touch of maple syrup is a nice surprise and so compatible with the carrot flavor. The crunch of pecans adds a special touch. -Sharon Bickett, Chester, South Carolina

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for medium-sized, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the carrots, then trim off the ends.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. For a more elegant presentation, cut the carrots into thin, diagonal slices.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the glaze will taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: The carrots should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.

Conclusion:

Maple and lime glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the natural sweetness of the carrots, and the lime zest adds a refreshing brightness. These carrots are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
