Ingredients
- 6-7 medium carrots peeled and cut on the bias (diagonally sliced)
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Place the carrots in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a low boil and cook until the carrots are tender-crisp. Drain the carrots.
- In a large skillet, combine the butter, brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the ingredients are all combined. Simmer the sauce for another 5 minutes, stirring to ensure that it doesn't burn.
- Add in the carrots and stir to cover in the sauce. Cook, over medium-high heat, stirring, for another 4-5 minutes, letting the sauce reduce and "candy" some more, plus cooking the carrots a bit more.
- Remove and serve the carrots in the sauce.
Notes
- You can leave out the cayenne for sensitive palates, but it really adds a nice kick!
