How to Make Balsamic Basil Carrots
- Peel 1 pound of carrots and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Place carrots in a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until carrots are tender-crisp.
- While carrots simmer, prepare the balsamic glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once carrots are cooked, drain well and return them to the saucepan.
- Add the balsamic glaze to the carrots.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, until the glaze is heated through and coats the carrots evenly.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
