• timp activ: 10 minutes
• timp total: 40 minutes

Ingrediente

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 pound medium-thick carrots (peeled, trimmed and sliced on the diagonal into ⅜-inch thick coins)

1/4 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger (optional; see notes for seasoning tips)

1/16 teaspoon garlic powder (OR ground cinnamon to taste)

ground black pepper (to taste)

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons runny honey

2 tablespoons orange juice

Instrucțiuni

Prep: Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, season with salt, garlic powder, ground ginger and black pepper.

Cook carrots: Cook, stirring often, for about 15-20 minutes, or until carrots are starting to soften but still retain a bite.

Make glaze: Add butter, brown sugar and orange juice to skillet and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring often at first and constantly for final 5 minutes, until glaze forms around carrots.Glaze will seem too runny at first, but WILL thicken while simmering. Glaze should be visibly bubbling throughout, but never vigorously cooking - burning turns it bitter!

Serve: Serve carrots immediately with chopped parsley, if you like.
