How to Make Apple Glazed Baby Carrots
- Steam 1 pound of baby carrots in a steamer basket set over 2 inches of boiling water for 3 minutes. Cover the pot.
- While the carrots steam, prepare the glaze. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat.
- Add 1/4 cup of apple juice concentrate and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and slightly thickened (about 1 minute).
- Stir in 1/4 cup of low-sodium chicken broth and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Bring to a gentle boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the boiling glaze. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the steamed carrots to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them evenly with the glaze.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Remove from heat and serve immediately or allow to cool slightly.
