Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Southern Comfort
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them at an angle into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes to slightly soften them.
Stir in the freshly grated ginger, coating the carrots evenly.
Add the water to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the carrots are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the remaining liquid to evaporate, stirring occasionally.
Once the skillet is mostly dry, stir in the Southern Comfort, brown sugar, and honey. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken into a glaze.
Season the carrots with salt and black pepper, stirring to evenly distribute the glaze.
Remove from heat and transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, Southern-inspired side dish!
