Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (or plant-based alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Dry sherry
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or an 8x8-inch glass dish with a small amount of butter or a plant-based alternative.
Wash, peel, and grate the carrots until you have 4 cups’ worth. Place the grated carrots into a mixing bowl.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Add the melted butter to the grated carrots and toss until evenly coated.
Pour in the dry sherry, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the carrot mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Cover the dish securely with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and just slightly caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 3–5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added color and brightness.
Serve warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
