How to Make Amaretto Carrots
- Peel and slice 1 pound of carrots.
- Place carrots in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove carrots with a slotted spoon to a warm dish and set aside. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid.
- In the same saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add 1/4 cup amaretto and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. Stir constantly until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with the reserved cooking liquid until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the amaretto sauce in the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of honey.
- Add the cooked carrots to the saucepan and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
