Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 5 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 bunches carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Select the right carrots: Choose fresh, young carrots with bright orange color and no blemishes. Avoid thick or woody carrots, as they may be tough.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Use fresh orange juice and zest: This will give the carrots a vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: They should be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked carrots will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Serve warm: Orange honey carrots are best served warm, as they will lose their crispness if they are allowed to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Orange honey carrots are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy addition to your diet. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
