Ingredients

1 pound carrots, approximately 7 medium, peeled and cut on the bias 1/4-inch thick
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Heavy pinch kosher salt
1 cup good-quality ginger ale
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

In a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat, combine the carrots, butter, salt and ginger ale. Cover and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, remove the lid, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Cover again and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, add the chili powder and increase the heat to high. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the ginger ale is reduced to a glaze, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Pour into a serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately.

This is a keeper!

Very straightforward recipe and excellent results! I did substitute the curry for chili as I have a little one to feed but... it still turned out great!Read more

I have been making glazed carrots for 35 years, and this is the most perfect outcome! Depending on what I am serving them... with, I sometimes add a little ground ginger and drizzle some creamed honey. This recipe as is, is also perfection...although everything Alton does is perfect!Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this recipe. First time I've ever made glazed carrots in my life, and I'm 44. Wanted a recipe that would turn out... sweet-hot or spicy-sweet, and with the addition of a little brown sugar, this one did. I also put in a little black pepper and salt. A LITTLE too much heat for us. I had doubled the recipe, using a full 2 lb bag of carrots so used a full tsp of chili powder. The heat builds, bite after bite. So I'd probably cut that back to just half the amount next time. I just added a little brown sugar close to the end of the reducing time at the end, and they ended up just exactly like I wanted them to! Oh, and what is "premium" ginger ale? I used Schweppes.Read more

Glazed goodness!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these carrots for dinner tonight - what a quick, easy and delicious side. I elected not to use premium ginger ale and... the recipe did not suffer as a result. It did take a while for it to cook down to a glaze, but I just turned up the heat and continue tossing them in the pan. I tasted one before the glaze had finished cooking down - there's a huge difference in flavor once the liquid is gone. Read more
