These carrots make a sweet side dish, great for holidays and Sunday pot roasts. I have substituted different juices for orange juice before and had good results--most often using passion-orange-guava juice which gave it a wonderful, light tropical flavor.
Not a bad way to eat your veggies.
1 pound carrots, sliced on the bias
¼ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
dash nutmeg
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Combine the orange juice through the nutmeg, stirring well to combine. Add the cornstarch, stirring to dissolve any lumps and mixing well. Stir in the carrots, coating with the orange juice mix thoroughly and cook in the microwave for 9-12 minutes on high, stirring once or twice, depending on the strength of your microwave.

OK, I am copying and pasting this one. I do a version with honey and parsley but this looks even better!

ReplyDeleteWow! I have never really liked orange glazed carrots, but I'd never thought of using different juices. For some reason pineapple juice sounds good (I'd top them with bacon bits right at the end). Thanks for the new idea.
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy. I love carrots.
