Ingredients

1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
3/4 pound carrots, cut on the bias into coins
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley leaves
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a small skillet, combine the broth, water, butter, brown sugar, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrots, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Uncover the pan and let the liquid cook down until it reduces to a glaze, about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the carrots to generously coat them with the glaze. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Another great, easy twist with simple ingredients. Fun playing around with varying the amounts of cumin, brown sugar, etc.... for different tilst on the taste too. Carrots are a staple on my grocery list now - thanks!Read more

Best Carrots EVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These carrots were awesome! I don't really cook with carrots, other than throwing some frozen ones in the microwave, so I... was a bit worried about the results. However, this recipe was amazing. The balance of sweet and savory was spot on, and the carrots were perfectly cooked. A winner right out of the gate. And for anyone complaining or worrying about the consistency of the glaze at the end, just crank the heat and the liquid will reduce in no time flat.Read more
