Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces baby carrots
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cups orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 16 ounces of baby carrots with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter (melted), 2 tablespoons of honey, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the carrots are evenly coated with the glaze.
Transfer the mixture to a large resealable freezer bag if preparing for OAMC (Once A Month Cooking), or proceed to the next step if cooking immediately.
To freeze, remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal it tightly, label it with the recipe name and date, and store it in the freezer for up to three months.
When ready to cook, thaw the bag in the refrigerator overnight (if frozen).
Transfer the glazed carrots to a skillet or saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until the carrots are tender and the glaze has thickened.
Serve warm as a side dish for your favorite meals.
