Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon-Orange Glazed Carrots.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). This will ensure your carrots bake to perfection. Next, grab a large pot and fill it with salted water. Toss in your sliced carrots and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the carrots simmer for about 5 minutes until they are slightly tender. After that, drain the carrots and set them aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, orange juice, brown sugar, white sugar, and ground cinnamon. Make sure the sugars are fully dissolved to create a smooth glaze. Now, it’s time to add the drained carrots to this delicious mixture. Toss them gently until every slice is beautifully coated in the glaze.
Step 3
Transfer the glazed carrots into a 1-quart baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let the carrots bake for 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re tender and the glaze is bubbling with flavor. Once done, take them out and let the aroma fill your kitchen!
How to Serve
These glazed carrots make a wonderful side dish for roasted meats or as part of a festive holiday meal. Serve them warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra touch of color and flavor.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed to keep them moist.
