Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled and sliced carrots
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ cup water
- ½ orange , juiced
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced flat leaf parsley
Instructions
- Bring the carrots, butter, brown sugar, water, and orange juice, to a boil in a heavy large skillet. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the carrots are still crisp but becoming tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Uncover, stir in the orange zest, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the carrots are fork-tender and the juices have reduced to a glossy glaze, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the parsley, taste for seasoning, and serve.
Notes
- Use 4 cups baby carrots in place of the sliced carrots if you prefer.
- To cook these carrots in the oven: Place the carrots in a baking dish. Adjust the water to just ⅓ cup then add the remaining ingredients up to the orange zest. Bake at 350°F for 1 to 1 ½ hours. To speed things along, parboil or steam the carrots until crisp tender before putting in the oven and adjust the baking time to 40-60 minutes. Sprinkle with orange zest and parsley and serve.
- To cook these carrots in the microwave: Place the carrots in a 1-½-qt. microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons of water and the remaining ingredients up to the parsley. Cover and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Sprinkle with orange zest and parsley and serve.
