How to Make Maple Mustard Carrots

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Cut into 1-inch thick slices.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the carrots and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  3. Drain the carrots, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Set aside and keep warm.
  4. In the same saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of the reserved cooking liquid at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Add the cooked carrots to the saucepan and toss gently to coat with the glaze. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through and glazed.
  7. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
