How to Make Minted Glazed Carrots
- Wash and prepare the carrots: If using medium-sized carrots, cut them in half lengthwise. If small, leave whole.
- Steam the carrots: Place carrots in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- While carrots steam, prepare the glaze: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until dissolved and slightly caramelized.
- Add carrots to glaze: Add the steamed carrots to the saucepan with the melted butter and sugar mixture.
- Cook until glazed: Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the carrots are glazed, the butter is lightly browned, and the carrots have a nutty aroma.
- Season and garnish: Remove from heat and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Arrange and serve: Arrange the glazed carrots on a serving platter, garnish with chopped fresh mint, and serve immediately.
