Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the orange marmalade, brown sugar, orange zest, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well until the mixture becomes a smooth glaze.
Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the marmalade glaze. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are warmed through and evenly glazed.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Transfer the marmalade carrots to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
