Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 6- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional), (to balance the sweetness)
- 2 lbs. carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces ((or use baby carrots))
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or fresh thyme leaves
- Pinch of cayenne pepper ((optional, for a bit of spice))
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup (half a stick) salted butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, (plus extra to taste)
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Place the carrots in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Don’t overcook them at this stage, since the carrots will finish in the glaze and you want them to hold their shape. Drain well.
- Step 2
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the maple syrup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using).
- Step 3
Return the carrots to the pan and toss to coat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the carrots are glossy and the glaze clings to them. The glaze might look a little bit clumpy initially (similar to the process of making caramel), but just keep stirring and gently cooking – it will come together into a smooth, buttery glaze.
- Step 4
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme. Serve warm.
