Glazed carrots are a wonderful side dish. Healthy, quick to prepare, and bursting with citrusy orange flavor, these veggies will be a winner on the holiday table. Ingredients:
2 pounds thin orange and/or purple carrots with greens intact, scrubbed and trimmed |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 cup fresh orange juice |
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring a 5- to 6-quart pot of salted water to a boil and cook carrots until just tender (6-8 minutes). Drain well.
2. Melt butter in a large (12-inch) heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add carrots and sauté 1 minute. Add orange juice, maple syrup, thyme, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, shaking skillet frequently, until liquid is reduced and syrupy, and carrots are tender (5-10 minutes).
