How to Make Glazed Ginger Carrots

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. Drain the carrots immediately and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and ginger; cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble slightly (about 1 minute).
  4. Add the drained carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the butter-sugar mixture.
  5. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender-crisp.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce and orange juice. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to a glaze and the carrots are nicely coated.
  7. Serve immediately as a delightful side dish. Enjoy!
