Time 45m

Yield 4 to 5 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 bunches carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
  • Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots. Look for baby carrots that are about 2-3 inches long and have a uniform thickness. Avoid carrots that are too thick, as they will take longer to cook.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil will help to bring out the flavor of the carrots and keep them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add some spices. Spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika can add a nice flavor to the carrots. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
  • Serve the carrots immediately. Roasted carrots are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.
