How to Make Carrots Cointreau

Peel 1 pound of baby carrots.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and parboil for 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Drain the carrots well and transfer them to a buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Cointreau, 2 tablespoons brandy, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Pour the Cointreau mixture evenly over the carrots in the baking dish.
Gently toss the carrots to ensure they are thoroughly coated.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven, stir gently, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
