How to Make Carrots Elegante
- Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Cook the carrots in a pot of boiling water, covered, for 8 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- While carrots cook, prepare the sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and combined (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish.
- Add the cooked carrots to the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the honey-lemon-ginger sauce over the carrots and stir gently to coat evenly.
- Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until the carrots are caramelized and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of slivered almonds over the carrots during the last minute of baking.
