Glazed carrots are a well-loved tradition for weekend dinners and holidays. This version uses 100% juice in place of more processed sugars for a sweet-tart option that will delight your tastebuds.
Tip: If you don't want to slice carrots, use baby carrots and cover for the first 10 minutes of the cooking process.
Ingredients
- ½ Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. unsalted butter
- 2 lbs. carrots, sliced
- 2 Tbsp. 100% orange juice
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
¼ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt
Directions
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and sauté until starting to brown (5 minutes).
- Add the remaining ingredients to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender and liquid is evaporated (15 minutes).
Chef's Practical Notes
Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
