Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 240 ml orange juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into even-sized coins or sticks for uniform cooking.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Add the curry powder and ground ginger to the butter, stirring for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the spiced butter.
Pour in the orange juice and honey, stirring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let the carrots cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken for an additional 3-5 minutes, coating the carrots in a glossy glaze.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with optional fresh parsley for garnish before serving.
