LEMON GLAZED CARROTS
This makes a perfect side dish for a Turkey dinner. It's the ONLY way I can get my in-laws to eat carrots. I prefer to steam the carrots, but you can boil them if you don't have a steamer. You can also slice regular carrots if you don't have baby carrots. If you don't have a lemon zester tool, you can use the fine side of a grater.

HONEY-LEMON GLAZED CARROTS
Steps:
- Place the carrots, lemon zest, honey, cumin and salt in a saute pan or low-sided saucepan. Add enough cold water to not quite cover the carrots. Bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring once or twice and adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a fairly vigorous but not violent boil until the liquid has nearly evaporated, about 14 minutes. If the carrots are not yet tender, lower the heat slightly. (The recipe can be made ahead to this point. Cool and then cover and refrigerate. Reheat when needed, adding a couple of spoonfuls of water if the carrots seem dry). Lower the heat and toss gently with a wooden spoon until the liquid reduces to form a light, syrupy glaze, usually a couple of minutes. Remove the lemon zest. Stir in the lemon juice and pepper and serve hot.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Peel the carrots thinly: This will help the carrots cook evenly and absorb the glaze better.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the carrots plenty of room to cook and prevent them from overcrowding.
- Cook the carrots over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a nice glaze.
- Stir the carrots frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Add the glaze ingredients at the end of cooking: This will prevent the glaze from burning.
- Serve the carrots immediately: This is when they are at their best.
Conclusion:
Lemon glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to add some color and flavor to your plate. The sweet and tangy glaze is the perfect complement to the tender carrots. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give lemon glazed carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
