Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Candied Ginger Carrots.
Step 1
Start by bringing a saucepan filled with water to a boil. Once the water is bubbling, toss in the baby carrots and let them simmer away for about 10 minutes, or until they’re tender and ready to soak up all that flavor.
Step 2
Once the carrots are cooked, drain them well and return them to the saucepan. Now, add the butter and stir gently until each carrot is beautifully coated in that rich, creamy goodness.
Step 3
Next, sprinkle in the brown sugar, ground ginger, and salt. Give everything a good stir, and then turn up the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. This is where the magic happens!
Step 4
Cook the carrots for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often. You’ll notice the glaze starting to form, making the carrots shine with a sweet and spicy coating that’s simply irresistible.
Step 5
Once they’re perfectly glazed, remove the pan from the heat and get ready to serve these delightful candied ginger carrots. They’re sure to be a hit at your dinner table!
