Steps:
- In a skillet add the carrots, broth, maple syrup, butter, salt and pepper.
- Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cover and cook 3 minutes; cook for 5 minutes if you want a soft, candied-style carrot.
- Increase the heat to high; uncover the skillet and cook 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the carrots are just tender and the liquid has been reduced to 2 tablespoons.
- Add in the vinegar and stir/sauté 1-2 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to a glaze.
- Serve while hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Fresh, tender carrots with vibrant color are best for this recipe. Choose carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Peel the carrots thinly: This helps the glaze adhere better to the carrots and gives them a more elegant appearance.
- Use a large skillet: This allows the carrots to spread out in a single layer, ensuring even cooking and caramelization.
- Cook the carrots over medium-high heat: This helps to quickly caramelize the carrots and develop their flavor.
- Stir the carrots frequently: This prevents them from burning and ensures even cooking.
- Add the glaze ingredients in stages: Start with the maple syrup and vinegar, then add the balsamic vinegar and butter. This allows the flavors to develop gradually and prevents the glaze from becoming too thick or overpowering.
- Serve the carrots warm: Maple glazed balsamic carrots are best enjoyed when served warm, so they can be enjoyed immediately after cooking.
Conclusion:
Maple glazed balsamic carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The sweet and tangy glaze perfectly complements the earthy flavor of the carrots, and the roasting process brings out their natural sweetness. These carrots are a great way to add a touch of elegance to your next meal, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
