Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup grapeseed oil

Tips:

  • Select the Right Carrots: Choose fresh, firm carrots that are about the same size for even cooking.
  • Peeling vs. Scraping: Peeling the carrots is not necessary, but it will give them a smoother texture. If you prefer, you can scrape the carrots instead of peeling them.
  • Glaze Consistency: The glaze should be thick and syrupy. If it's too thin, cook it for a few more minutes. If it's too thick, add a little water or broth.
  • Butter or Margarine: Both butter and margarine can be used in this recipe. Butter will give the carrots a richer flavor, while margarine will make them a bit lighter.
  • Fresh Herbs: If you have fresh thyme or rosemary on hand, add a sprig or two to the glaze for extra flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: These glazed carrots are a perfect side dish for roasted chicken, pork, or beef. They can also be served as an appetizer or snack.

Conclusion:

Apple brown sugar glazed carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make and only require a few ingredients.
