Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb baby carrots
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of water to boil and add the carrots. Cook for 8-10 minutes, (until crisp-tender). Drain and put aside.
  • In a pan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, brown sugar and cranberry sauce, stirring until smooth. Simmer 2 minutes, then add the carrots and glaze for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and have a smooth texture. Avoid carrots that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Peel and trim the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer of the carrots. Then, trim the ends of the carrots.
  • Cut the carrots into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut the carrots into rounds, slices, or baby carrots.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan: This will give the carrots plenty of room to cook and brown.
  • Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat: This will help the carrots caramelize and develop a nice golden-brown color.
  • Add the carrots to the skillet and cook until tender: Stir the carrots occasionally so that they cook evenly. Depending on the size of the carrots, this will take about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the glaze ingredients: Stir in the cranberry sauce, maple syrup, and spices. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Cranberry glazed carrots are best served warm. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Cranberry glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, tart, and savory, and they pair well with a variety of main courses. Whether you are serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, cranberry glazed carrots are sure to be a hit.
