    Orange Glazed Carrots Side Dish

    March 16, 2021 by Kyle Leave a Comment

    This easy recipe for Orange Glazed Carrots is the perfect bright and fresh side dish and can be prepared ahead of time to serve warm or at room temperature!

    I love to add these carrots as a side dish. They are such a bright color and the addition of the oranges and orange juice adds just enough tang and sweetness.

    A large round pan of baby carrots sprinkled with orange segments.

    Recipe Hints:

    • Fresh squeezed orange juice is best to use although bottled orange juice will work too.
    • Orange segments are a fresh addition of orange flavor. If you choose not to add the orange segments, the orange juice still gives the dish citrus flavor.
    • Cooking instructions are the same for cut carrots or baby carrots.
    • Add more or less of any of the spices to adjust to your taste. I often will increase all the spice amounts if I want the glazed carrots to have a bit more flavor from the spices.

    Ingredients

    • 3 Tablespoons butter

    • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
    • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

    Instructions

    • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan.
    • Add all the spices, cumin through pepper, to the sauté pan. Stir and cook for one minute in the butter.
    • Add the orange juice and stir to combine with the butter mixture. Bring to a simmer.
    • Add the carrots to the pan and bring the liquid back to a simmer. Stir the carrots with the butter mixture. Partially cover the pan (about ¾ covered) with a lid and simmer the carrots for about 15 minutes.
    • While the carrots are cooking, cut the peel and white pith off the orange. Cut the segments from the membanes and reserve the segments in a separate bowl.
    • Remove the lid from the carrots and continue to cook until liquid has condensed to more of a glaze (about 15-20 more minutes).
    • Stir the carrots to incorporate all the glaze. Serve warm sprinkled with the orange segments and parsley.

    Notes

    Gr8 Notes:
    • The carrots can be made ahead of time and warmed on the stove or microwave before serving.
    • They also can be served at room temperature.
    • Leftover carrots can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week.
