Best Glazed Carrots With Mint Recipes

PAN-ROASTED CARROTS WITH MINT AND PARSLEY GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Place the carrots, broth and 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the carrots are tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated and the carrots are lightly browned, another 2 to 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Meanwhile, combine the mint, parsley, juice, zest and remaining 3 teaspoons oil in a small dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the warm carrots with the herb mixture.

ROASTED CARROTS WITH HONEY AND MINT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the carrots on the baking sheet.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat. Add the brown sugar and honey, and stir to combine.
• Pour the butter mixture over the carrots. Sprinkle with the mint, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Roast the carrots until tender and lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter and garnish with fresh mint.

MINTED GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Lightly steam the carrots in a steamer basket. Drain.
• Wash out the pot, dry it with a towel then heat the pan on medium heat.
• Add the butter and sugar until butter is melted and sugar has dissolved.
• Add the carrots to the pan and cook until butter starts to brown, the carrots have a nutty fragrance and are fork tender.
• Arrange the carrots on a serving platter.

GLAZED FRESH PEAS AND CARROTS WITH MINT AND DILL

Steps:

• Cut a 1/2-inch piece from a carrot at an angle. Roll the carrot until the cut side faces up and cut another 1/2-inch piece at an angle. Continue rolling and cutting both carrots.
• Combine the carrots, onion, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until very tender, about 10 minutes. A knife should be able to pierce through a carrot with no resistance.
• Meanwhile, combine the peas and 3 tablespoons water in a large saucepan. There should be just enough water to coat the bottom of the pan. If there isn't, add more water as needed. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the peas are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the carrot mixture and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter to the peas. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are glazed and bound by a thin, creamy sauce, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and top with mint and dill.
