Glazed Carrots

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1 tbs unsalted butter
  • 1 tbs packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 3/4 1b carrots, cut on the bias into coins
  • 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp minced fresh parsley leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a small skillet, combine the broth, water, butter, brown sugar, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrots, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Uncover the pan and let the liquid cook down until it reduces to a glaze, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the carrots to generously coat them with the glaze. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
