Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1 cup Seedless red grapes
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin, diagonal rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
While the carrots are cooking, make the glaze by whisking together the orange juice, honey, cornstarch, water, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
Add the red grapes to the skillet with the carrots and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the grapes to heat through.
Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet with the carrots and grapes. Stir gently to evenly coat the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the carrots are tender.
Season with salt to taste and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots and grapes to a serving dish.
Serve warm as a flavorful and healthy side dish.
