Lemon-Honey Ginger Carrots With Almonds image

My son could could eat this whole dish himself if he could LOL! This recipe should be enough to serve about 5-6 people, but can be doubled, and you might want to consider doing that, as this dish is so delicious!. The carrots are still great even without topping them with almonds, but I most always top with almonds if serving this to compnay. Don't make the mistake of adding in too much ginger, I have done this before, and it just overpowers all of the other ingredients, 1/2 teaspoon is really all tht you need. You will love this!

Time 50m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 lbs carrots, sliced diagonally into about 1/2-inch slices (or smaller)
water, for boiling
1/3 cup butter, melted (no subs please!)
1/2 cup honey (or to taste)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1 1/2 cups golden raisins (or to taste)
1 cup slivered almonds (preferably toasted)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place the sliced carrots in a saucepan, and cover with water just to cover the carrots. Bring to a boil, and cook until JUST crisp-tender (about 7-8 minutes, do not over cook the carrots as they will cook more in the oven) drain VERY well (I soak up any excess water with a paper towel).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the butter, honey, lemon juice, ginger and pepper (add in salt if desired) together very well.
  • Add in carrots, mix and coat well with the honey mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture into a buttered 2-quart casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle with raisins; mix slightly.
  • Cover and bake in a 350 dedgree oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
  • Sprinkle with slivered almonds just before serving.
  • Absolutey delicious!
