Categories     Vegetables

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 c baby carrots
1/4 c fresh orange juice
1/4 c pomegranate juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots and saute until they are bright orange, approx. 2 minutes.
  • 2. Pour in the orange and pomegranate juices. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender-crisp and glazed, about 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, young carrots with bright orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp, rubbery, or have blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin outer layer of the carrots. Then, trim the ends and cut the carrots into desired sizes.
  • Glaze the carrots: In a saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and glazed.
  • Add herbs and spices: For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary or thyme, or spices like cumin or coriander to the glaze.
  • Roast the carrots: If you prefer roasted carrots, toss them with the glaze and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast the carrots in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Serve warm or cold: Pomegranate glazed carrots can be served warm or cold. They make a great side dish for roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a vegetarian main course.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate glazed carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you choose to glaze, roast, or sauté them, pomegranate glazed carrots are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
