Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 medium carrots, peeled
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon togarashi or cayenne if desired (See Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots in thirds crosswise. Then cut each piece lengthwise into halves or fourths, depending on the width of the carrots. This should create spears that have at least one flat side.
  • Add the oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the carrots in the oil cut-sides down and cook without turning until tender, about 6 minutes. The cut sides will be very, very dark. Some may even call it burnt. Don't worry, it'll taste great!
  • Add the honey, togarashi and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and stir up all the carrots. Cook, stirring constantly, until most of the water has cooked off and the carrots are coated. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the chopped parsley. (This will add a fresh flavor and it looks really pretty.)
  • Serve right away to your impressed and amazed friends!

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons butter
3 lbs baby carrots (5-6 inches long) or 3 lbs medium carrots, peeled, trimmed (halved & cut into 5-inch pieces)
2 tablespoons light molasses, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt (or more)
6 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar or 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, divided

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy extra-large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; sauté until carrots are coated with butter mixture, about 1 minute. Add 4 tablespoons vinegar and enough water to almost cover carrots (about 3-4 cups) and bring to boil. Cover and boil 2 minutes. Uncover and boil until liquid is reduced to syrup and carrots are tender, stirring often, about 20 minutes.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon molasses and 2 tablespoons vinegar to carrots and toss over medium-high heat until carrots are heated through and thickly coated with glaze, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

- Choose carrots that are similar in size for even cooking. - Scrub the carrots well to remove any dirt or debris. - Leave the carrot peels on for added nutrients and flavor. - Use a vegetable peeler to create carrot ribbons for a more elegant presentation. - Don't overcrowd the carrots in the pan when cooking. They should be in a single layer for even browning. - Stir the carrots occasionally to ensure even cooking and browning. - Add a little bit of water or broth to the pan if the carrots start to stick. - Use a wooden spoon to stir the carrots to avoid scratching the pan. - Taste the carrots before serving and add more seasonings if needed.
