This is a quick and easy vegetable side dish that looks and tastes great. Best of all, it can be prepared one or two days in advance! Ingredients:
2 pounds carrots, trimmed and peeled |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 tablespoon brandy |
1/3 cup fresh orange juice |
1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar until dissolved; add brandy, orange juice, and cornstarch. Stirring constantly, bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over carrots in baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley.
