Balsamic glazed carrots
Ingredients
- 1/2 - 1 lb carrots, cut into wedges or left whole for small carrots
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (*or maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
-
In an oven proof skillet, melt your butter and add in the vinegar and brown sugar over low heat. Once the liquid has begun to thicken add the carrots. Cook for about five minutes, tossing the carrots in the glaze.
-
Move the whole skillet to the oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes depending on how much bite you like to your roasted carrots.
*Maple variation - I also like this with maple syrup, but you have to first reduce the balsamic maple mixture until it becomes thick enough to be a blaze.
**If I don't feel like turning on the oven, I just steam make the glaze in one pan, steam carrots in another, and then combine.
*** This is also a great method for green beans, but I skip the brown sugar and add some caramelized onion.
