GLAZED CARROTS

Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 medium carrots, peeled
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon togarashi or cayenne if desired (See Cook's Note)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut the carrots in thirds crosswise. Then cut each piece lengthwise into halves or fourths, depending on the width of the carrots. This should create spears that have at least one flat side.
  • Add the oil to a cast-iron skillet and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the carrots in the oil cut-sides down and cook without turning until tender, about 6 minutes. The cut sides will be very, very dark. Some may even call it burnt. Don't worry, it'll taste great!
  • Add the honey, togarashi and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and stir up all the carrots. Cook, stirring constantly, until most of the water has cooked off and the carrots are coated. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the chopped parsley. (This will add a fresh flavor and it looks really pretty.)
  • Serve right away to your impressed and amazed friends!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 128 g, Fat 6 g, Protein 1 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Select firm, crisp carrots that are free of blemishes and bruises. If possible, opt for organic or locally grown carrots for the best flavor.
  • Peel the carrots thinly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove just a thin layer of skin from the carrots. This will help the glaze adhere better and allow the carrots to cook evenly.
  • Slice the carrots evenly: For even cooking, slice the carrots into uniform pieces. Aim for 1-2 inch long and ¼ inch thick slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the carrots until tender: Sauté the carrots over medium heat until they are tender but still slightly firm. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Make the glaze while the carrots are cooking: While the carrots are cooking, you can prepare the glaze. This will save time and ensure that the glaze is ready when the carrots are done.
  • Use a variety of peaches: Feel free to use different types of peaches, such as white peaches or donut peaches, for a unique flavor variation.
  • Adjust the glaze to taste: If you find the glaze to be too sweet or too tart, feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or vinegar accordingly.

Conclusion:

Peach glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a colorful and flavorful dish that will impress your family and friends. Whether you serve them as a side dish for a special occasion or as a quick and healthy snack, these carrots are sure to be a hit.
