Best Glazed Baby Carrots With Bourbon And Maple Syrup Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S BOURBON GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.
• Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

SUNNY'S EASY MAPLE AND LEMON PAN-ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk the maple syrup, butter, lemon zest and juice, chile flakes and a pinch of kosher salt.
• For the carrots: In a large saute pan on medium to medium-high heat, add the olive oil and when it begins to swirl, add the carrots cut-side down and season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook to sear and caramelize, 5 to 10 minutes, then flip. On the flip, add the glaze and allow it to bubble and reduce, about 2 minutes. Pour everything onto a serving platter. Top with a sprinkle of flakey salt and chopped parsley or carrot greens.

GLAZED BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
• To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring the pan to medium heat swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, removed the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the carrots are completely coated and hot.
