Brown Sugar Cinnamon Glazed Carrots Recipes

BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat 1 inch water to boiling in 3-quart saucepan. Add carrots and, if desired, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer covered 12 to 15 minutes or until carrots are tender.
• While carrots are cooking, heat brown sugar, butter, orange zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in 10- or 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. Be careful not to overcook or the mixture will taste scorched. Remove from heat.
• Drain carrots. Stir carrots into brown sugar mixture. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and gently, until carrots are glazed and hot.

CINNAMON GLAZED BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in saucepan.
• Add carrots, salt, sugar and just enough water to barely cover the carrots.
• Cover and cook carrots on medium heat until tender.
• (time depends on carrot size. I usually cook baby carrots for about 25 minutes.) Remove lid, bring saucepan to a boil and boil until water is evaporated completely, leaving carrots with a sticky, buttery glaze.
• Watch carefully and stir so carrots do not scorch.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and mix.
• Serve immediately.

CINNAMON AND ORANGE GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place carrots into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Whisk butter, orange juice, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon together in a large bowl until sugars are dissolved. Add carrots to the glaze mixture; toss to coat. Transfer carrots and glaze to a 1-quart baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

SPICY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots with brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg in the hot oil until carrots are glazed, coated with spices, and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
