Summary:
Carrots love a honey glaze, and children usually love carrots. Baby-cut carrots may be substituted here.
4 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 medium organic carrots, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup slivered or sliced almonds, toasted (see NOTE)
Directions:
Combine the carrots, oil, broth, honey and salt and pepper to taste in a medium saucepan over medium heat; heat until barely bubbling at the edges.
Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the carrots are evenly glazed and fork-tender. Remove from the heat, toss with the toasted almonds and serve immediately.
NOTE: To toast almonds:Cook them in a heavy, dry skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes, until they are lightly browned and begin to smell toasty. Watch carefully; nuts can burn quickly. Transfer to a dish to cool.
