Orange-glazed carrots Recipe

American · Side dish · 25 min total

Tender carrots are cooked in a sweet and tangy orange glaze, making a vibrant side dish that pairs well with roasted meats or holiday feasts.

Ingredients

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium skillet, combine carrots, orange juice, butter, brown sugar, orange zest, salt, and pepper.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, until carrots are tender.
4. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces to a glaze that coats the carrots, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Tips

• For a more intense orange flavor, add an extra teaspoon of orange zest.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
