LIGHTLY GLAZED CARROTS
I make these when I make turkey dinners for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are glazed but not overly so that they still mix well with all the other fixings that go along with turkey, gravy, potatoes, stuffing, etc...

HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS
These sweet, citrusy carrots are an ideal accompaniment to savory, hearty main dishes, like Ebony's stewed chicken and dumplings from the magazine's first food editor, Freda DeKnight. This adaptation streamlines the usage of a pot and baking dish in the original and requires only a single ovenproof skillet. The dish tastes just the same and reflects Ms. DeKnight's commitment to fresh ingredients and vibrants flavors in her cooking.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Fill an ovenproof skillet that can fit the carrots with 1 to 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots and add more water if needed to cover the carrots. Reduce the heat to simmer the carrots until they're tender but not soft, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the water out of the skillet, keeping the carrots in the skillet by holding them back with a spatula. Add the juice, honey and butter to the skillet and stir to mix (the butter may not melt all the way). Roll the carrots in the mixture, season them with salt and transfer to the oven.
- Bake, gently rolling the carrots once, until the carrots are glazed, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and sprinkle with parsley.
GLAZED CARROTS
No idea where I got this recipe... Let me just say that this is outstanding. When my kids were little, many many moons ago, they loved carrots this way and consumed plenty... My grandchildren love them too. A great way to get veggies in the little ones! (Recipe serves two... but I always triple it at least.)

GLAZED CARROTS
Could these carrots be any easier? You could, of course, throw them in the oven, slathered with oil salt and pepper, or you try Pierre Franey's approach. Here, he slices them, adding salt, pepper, butter, cumin and scallions, and lets them simmer in water for about 10 minutes. With that, they're done, and ready to be paired with many a weeknight meal.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for young, tender carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Freshly picked carrots are best, as they will have the most flavor.
- Trim the carrots: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the carrots. Then, peel the carrots if desired. You can also leave the skin on, but be sure to scrub them well to remove any dirt or debris.
- Glaze the carrots: In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Stir in the honey, brown sugar, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the carrots are glazed and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the carrots: Lightly glazed carrots can be served as a side dish or appetizer. They are also a great addition to salads, stir-fries, and other dishes.
