Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 60 ml orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the orange juice into the pan and stir in the honey, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the carrots simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces to a glossy glaze that coats the carrots.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sunshine Carrots!
