How to Make Baby Carrots With Scallions

1. Wash and trim 1 pound of baby carrots. Place them in a medium saucepan, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes.
2. Drain the carrots well and set aside.
3. In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced scallions and cook for about 2 minutes, until softened.
4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar (or Splenda to taste). Simmer for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened.
5. Add the cooked carrots to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them evenly with the glaze. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through and the glaze is nicely caramelized.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
