Glazed Carrots With Maple Syrup and Sesame Seeds image

Wanting a quick carrot dish last night, I turned to one of my favourite books, "Linda McCartneys World Of Vegetarian Cooking". As usual she didn't let me down, this was an easy and deliciously tasty offering of carrots in a sweet glaze. The original recipe calls for honey or Maple syrup, I chose to use Maple Syrup, I had NO leftovers! I used the butter option.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb carrot, peeled and cut into batons
50 g butter or 50 g margarine
2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons maple syrup, for vegans

Steps:

  • Put the carrots into a medium pan with half the butter or margarine (25 gr), and half the honey or maple syrup(1 tbsp), and a pinch of salt, then add the water.
  • Bring to the boil, uncovered, and cook rapidly until the water has all but evaporated, and the carrots are tender, about 8 minutes.
