Steps:
- Cut a 1-inch chunk off one end of a carrot at an angle. Roll the carrot a quarter turn and cut another 1-inch chunk at an angle. Continue rolling and cutting all of the carrots into 1-inch chunks. Combine the carrots and orange juice in a large saucepan. Add enough water to just cover the carrots. Add the butter and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 20 minutes. Top with the dill and serve.
ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CARROTS
Steps:
- Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover the pan, and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. You may want to raise the heat for the last 5 minutes.
- Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.

GLAZED CARROTS WITH ORANGE AND GINGER
When carrots are cooked, it's often a sad affair. They are boiled to death and presented almost as an apology. Yet when they're treated with the respect they deserve, even ordinary supermarket carrots can be among the most reliable and enjoyable of vegetables, especially from fall through spring. This braise-and-glaze technique can be varied at will and can also be used with other roots, like beets, turnips and radishes. Once you have the hang of the technique, changing the flavorings is a snap. Try substituting a mixture of half balsamic vinegar, half water or soy sauce similarly diluted for the orange juice, adding a few cloves of peeled garlic with the carrots. Or add a half cup or so of chopped onions, shallots, scallions or leeks, or of chopped pitted dates or raisins, dried currants or even dried tomatoes.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh carrots. If using baby carrots, trim the ends and leave them whole. For larger carrots, peel and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
- To make sure the carrots are evenly glazed, toss them with the orange juice, olive oil, and honey before roasting. You can also add a touch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender-crisp, about 20-25 minutes. You can test them by piercing them with a fork. If they are tender, they are done.
- Remove the carrots from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Orange glazed carrots with mint is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and savory glaze, combined with the fresh mint, creates a flavor combination that is both refreshing and satisfying. These carrots are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
