Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 pound baby carrots, tops removed but with a little green left attached (it's cute)
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 clove garlic, smashed
3 sprigs thyme, picked
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
  • To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring the pan to medium heat swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, removed the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the carrots are completely coated and hot.
  • So good for my eyes!

  • Prepare the carrots properly: Scrub the carrots clean and remove any tough ends. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a hot skillet: When sautéing the carrots, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the carrots. This will help them caramelize and brown properly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When sautéing the carrots, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives lemon glazed baby carrots their signature flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that is made with fresh lemon juice and zest.
  • Serve immediately: Lemon glazed baby carrots are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.
