Ingredients

• 500 grams carrots
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until just tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Stir in the orange marmalade, brown sugar, orange juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.

Step 6

Add the cooked carrots to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the glaze.

Step 7

Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are coated in the thickened glaze and heated through.

Step 8

Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
