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

Provided by Kate in Ontario

Categories     Vegetable

Time 22m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons butter
1 -2 lb baby carrots
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Heat 1 T butter with water in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add carrots, cover and cook until softened- about 10 minutes.
  • Remove cover and cook, stirring often 5-10 minutes or until golden.
  • Add rest of butter and honey and transfer to serving dish.

Tips:

  • Select the right carrots: Choose baby carrots that are tender and have a vibrant orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the carrots properly: Peel and trim the carrots before cooking. Cut them into uniform sizes so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the carrots to spread out in a single layer, ensuring that they cook evenly and get a nice glaze.
  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the carrots and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add the butter and oil: The combination of butter and oil will help to prevent the carrots from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: Cook the carrots for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Add the orange juice, honey, and spices: Once the carrots are tender, add the orange juice, honey, and spices to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed orange-glazed baby carrots are best served immediately, while they are still warm and tender.

Conclusion:

Sautéed orange-glazed baby carrots are a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. The carrots are tender and slightly sweet, with a hint of citrus from the orange juice. The glaze is made with a combination of butter, honey, and spices, which gives the carrots a delicious caramelized flavor. These carrots are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. They can be served as a side dish to roasted chicken, grilled fish, or pork chops. They can also be served as an appetizer or snack.
