How to Make Alton S Glazed Carrots

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and sliced carrots to the pan along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of ginger ale and add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  4. Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Once simmering, remove the lid, stir gently, and reduce the heat to low.
  6. Cover the pan again and cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the lid, add 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, and increase the heat to medium-high.

  10. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
