Description
A sunny side dish that’s done in about 10 minutes – and will brighten the day of kids or anyone: Grapefruit Honey Glazed Carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 grapefruit – zested to produce 1/4 teaspoon grated peel and squeezed to make 1/4 cup juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Garnish: parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Place carrots and 1/4 cup water in a microwave-safe-dish and cook on HIGH power for about 5 minutes until tender; stirring halfway through cooking. OR Place carrots and 1/2 cup water in a small pot on stove and cook over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes until tender. Drain (but don’t dump the water – it’s deliciously sweet carrot-flavored water – and contains vitamin C!)
- While carrots are cooking, melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in grapefruit peel, juice, cornstarch and honey. Cook until thick – about 1-2 minutes – stirring.
- Lower heat to low and add warm carrots; stir to coat carrots with glaze.
