Vamp up the usual boiled baby carrots with an orange juice glaze sweetened by a little bit of sugar. It’s something to entice to kids to eat more vegetables with their dinner. Even I as an adult think boiled carrots seasoned with only salt and pepper are boring sometimes so a glaze from time to time wouldn’t hurt.
INGREDIENTS:
half a bag of baby carrots
water for boiling
1/4 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup of water
2 tbsp of butter
2 tbsp of sugar
In one pot, boil the water and baby carrots until they’re fork-tender. Drain the water off and set aside.
In another pot, melt butter, then add the orange juice, water, and sugar. Cook in medium heat to reduce. Stir in between cooking.
Pour over the boiled baby carrots then stir to coat the baby carrots. Serve as a vegetable side dish along chicken, pork, beef, or seafood dishes.
