An Easy and Delicious Easter Side-Dish
Serves 4 as a side dish
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Pound Carrots, washed
- 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 Tbsp Butter
- ¼ Cup Sweetener (some combination of Brown Sugar, Maple Syrup and Honey)
- Juice of ½ an Orange
- ¼ Cup chopped Parsley (Optional)
Directions:
- Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Cut the carrots into whatever shape you want (coins, quartered then cut into sticks, bias cut are all great options, just make sure the pieces are an even thickness so they cook together).
- Add the carrots, garlic, salt and pepper to the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter, sweetener and orange juice to the pan and stir regularly for another ten minutes. Keep a close eye so the sugar doesn’t burn.
- Keep stirring until the glaze thickens and coats the carrots then remove from the heat, top with the parsley, and serve. Enjoy!
