Orange-Honey Glazed Carrots

By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 2 pounds carrots, peeled
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch thick slices. You should have about 5 cups of carrots. Place 1/2 cup water, the butter, honey, 2 teaspoons of salt and the ginger in a large saute pan and bring to a boil. Add the carrots, cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until all the water has evaporated.

Add the orange zest and orange juice to the pan, tossing with the carrots. Simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are al dente and the sauce glazes the carrots. Add the pepper and another teaspoon of salt, to taste.
