3 navel oranges

Tips:

  • Select firm, young carrots: Choose carrots that are smooth, brightly colored, and free of blemishes. Avoid those that are limp or have cracks or bruises.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will ensure they cook evenly. For baby carrots, simply trim the ends. For larger carrots, peel them and cut them into uniform pieces, such as 1-inch rounds, 2-inch sticks, or 4-inch batons.
  • Use fresh orange juice and zest: Fresh orange juice and zest add a bright, citrusy flavor to the glaze. If you don't have fresh oranges on hand, you can substitute bottled orange juice and store-bought orange zest, but the flavor won't be as pronounced.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Roast the carrots until tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your carrot pieces. Start checking them after about 20 minutes and continue roasting until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Make the glaze while the carrots are roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld. Simply combine the orange juice, zest, cumin, honey, and butter in a small saucepan and simmer until thickened.
  • Toss the carrots in the glaze: Once the carrots are roasted and the glaze is ready, transfer the carrots to a large bowl and toss them with the glaze until they are evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately: Cumin and orange glazed carrots are best served hot out of the oven, while they are still crisp and tender.

Conclusion:

Cumin and orange glazed carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be roasted in advance, making them a great option for busy weeknights. The combination of cumin and orange creates a unique and flavorful glaze that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a simple yet elegant side dish, give cumin and orange glazed carrots a try!
