How to Make Sweet Carrots With Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and thinly slice 1 pound of carrots.
- In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, whisk together ½ cup pineapple juice, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 4 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Add the cooked carrots and 1 cup of chopped pecans to the sauce. Gently stir to coat.
- Transfer the carrot mixture to a baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and the carrots are slightly caramelized.
- Serve warm. Garnish with extra pecans, if desired.
