MINTED GLAZED CARROTS



Minted Glazed Carrots image

Found on bunch carrots from Siri Produce Inc. in Oregon. DON'T use those awful "baby carrots" from the grocery store. Whole carrots (small-medium sized) and organic are best. If the carrots are small leave whole but if they are medium-sized cut in half lengthwise. If your carrots are good quality they don't need to be peeled. Recipe adapted slightly.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 bunches whole carrots, tops removed
1/4 lb butter (1/2 cup butter although I used only 1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons sugar (unbleached or raw)
1 tablespoon of fresh mint, chiffonade (*FRESH* mint only!)
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Lightly steam the carrots in a steamer basket. Drain.
  • Wash out the pot, dry it with a towel then heat the pan on medium heat.
  • Add the butter and sugar until butter is melted and sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the carrots to the pan and cook until butter starts to brown, the carrots have a nutty fragrance and are fork tender.
  • Arrange the carrots on a serving platter.
  • Season with salt (we liked it with French grey sea salt) and cracked black pepper. Garnish with the mint. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for baby carrots that are about 2-3 inches long and have a smooth, bright orange color.
  • Wash the carrots thoroughly: Scrub the carrots under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Trim the carrots: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the carrots.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: You can cook the carrots in boiling water, steam them, or roast them in the oven. Cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose.
  • Add the mint: Once the carrots are cooked, add the chopped mint and stir to combine.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm: Minted baby carrots are best served warm, as a side dish or snack.

Conclusion:

Minted baby carrots are a simple yet delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, savory, or spicy, minted baby carrots are a great way to add a pop of flavor to your next meal.
