Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into 1/4-inch thick round slices to create 'coins.'
In a large skillet or sauté pan, combine the carrot coins with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender but not mushy. Drain off any remaining water and set the cooked carrots aside.
Reduce the heat to low and melt the butter in the same skillet. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, orange juice, salt, and ground black pepper to create a smooth glaze.
Add the cooked carrot coins back into the skillet, tossing them gently to coat evenly with the glaze.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and evenly coats the carrots.
Transfer the glazed carrot coins to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
