This humble and flavorful cooked carrot recipe is taken up a notch by glazing it in orange juice, a little ginger, and garnishing with fresh orange zest.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb carrots, trimmed, peeled, and chunked
  • water
  • 1 juicy orange, zested & juiced
  • 2 tsp ginger, peeled & grated
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt, divided

Instructions

  • Zest the orange first and then juice it.
  • Place chunked carrots in a large pot.  Add enough water to cover by 1/2", add 1/2 tsp salt, and bring to a boil covered.
  • Reduce heat and simmer covered ~ 12-14 minutes or until nearly tender.  
  • Drain excess water, reduce heat, and put carrots back on medium heat.
  • Add orange juice, ginger, olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt. 
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook until orange juice reduces, stirring occasionally (~ 3-5 minutes).
  • Garnish with as much orange zest as desired and add salt to taste.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Cook the carrots al dente initially.  You don't want them to start mashing by the time the orange juice and other ingredients are added.
