These carrots are a must at your next turkey dinner or any dinner!... I have made them many times, and everyone loves them! Make certain to quarter the carrots lengthwise, the cut them into about 2-1/2-inch pieces. It makes for a really nice presentation. You will love these! If you are a cayenne fan, then add in more to taste. The combination of spices will bring the carrots to a next level! If you are feeding more than 5-6 people, then I suggest to double the recipe. Ingredients:
2 lbs carrots (about 12 large) |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed |
1/2 cup water |
2 -3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Quarter carrots lengthwise and then cut into about 2-1/2-inch pieces.
2. Heat butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
3. Add in the carrot sticks and sauté uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until just slightly softened.
4. Add in brown sugar stirring until the sugar is dissolved and melted.
5. Stir in water, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon and cayenne; toss to combine and simmer covered until the carrots are desired tenderness and the liquid is reduced to a glaze (about 8-10 minutes).
