Orange-Honey Glazed Carrots

By acampman

Ingredients

• 2 lb. carrots, peeled (3 bunches)
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp. honey
• Kosher salt
• 1 tsp. minced fresh ginger
• 1 tsp. grated orange zest
• 1/2 C. freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the carrots diagonally in 1-inch-thick slices. You should have about 5 C. of carrots.
Place ½ C. water, the butter, honey, 2 tsp. of salt and the ginger in a large sauté 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 (tender but still resistant when you bite) and the sauce glazes the carrots.
Add the pepper and another tsp of salt to taste.
