Maple Braised Carrots
Report
These carrots are amazing. Peel carrots, and then cut into equal-sized 'sticks.' Saute shallots in butter, throw in the carrots with salt, pepper, maple syrup, and stock (chicken or vegetable)...and finish with fresh-cut parsley...and they are an incredible side dish to a very special meal.

Instructions
- Heat the butter over medium heat in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
- Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 4 minutes.
- Add the carrots to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high and add the pure maple syrup and broth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high, cover, and cook for 8 minutes.
- Uncover and continue to cook until the liquid has reduced to a glaze and the carrots are very tender, about 10 minutes longer.
- Stir in the parsley and serve at once.
Notes
- NOTE: Watch the video near the top of the recipe for visual guidance.
- NOTE
- If desired, you can slice the carrots into circular medallions. Fresh carrots are far superior to canned carrots, but in a pinch, they'll still be good. Drain the carrots before proceeding with the recipe.
- Be sure to go with Pure Maple Syrup, not imitation syrup, or pancake syrup.
- To make the dish 100% vegetarian, use vegetable stock in place of chicken stock.
- You can make the dish a few hours in advance of serving, if necessary. Reheat in the skillet before serving. We do recommend serving this, however, fresh off the stove.
- This recipe can easily be doubled, or even tripled, to serve a large group.
