- 2 lbs Carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds or diagonals
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup Orange Juice
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to make Glazed Carrots with Ginger and Orange
- Prepare the 2 lbs of carrots by peeling them and then slicing them into uniform 1/2-inch thick rounds or diagonal pieces. Uniformity helps ensure even cooking.
- In a large skillet or saucepan with a lid, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots and 0.5 tsp salt, stirring to coat them in the butter.
- Add 0.25 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are fork-tender but still retain a slight bite. Check periodically and add a splash more water if the pan becomes dry.
- Once the carrots are tender, remove the lid. Add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 0.5 cup orange juice, and 2 tbsp honey to the skillet.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and thickened into a glossy glaze that coats the carrots.
- Stir in 0.25 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or honey to your preference.
- Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish. Garnish with 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley just before serving to add a fresh burst of color and flavor.
