Simple Glazed Carrots

Makes 2 side dish-sized servings

 

 

3 medium/large carrots

2 tsp. margarine

Salt & pepper to taste

1/2 tsp. sugar (any kind)

1/2 cup water

 

 

 

 

Peel carrots and slice lengthwise into approx. 6 pieces. Cut

slices into 4 pieces lengthwise (approx. 3 " long). Try to make all

pieces about the same thickness, so they finish cooking at the same

time.

 

Add to saucepan with water (just enough to steam). Cover, and steam

until they're cooked, but not soft, about 5 minutes.

 

Drain, return pan to medium-high temperature, and add remaining

ingredients. Stir to evenly coat carrots with margarine. Let them sit

and sizzle undisturbed. Every minute or so, stir/shake to dislodge

any partially burned carrots, and allow a new layer to carmelize.

After just a few minutes, remove from heat and serve. You should find

that the sugar brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots

without making them too sweet. Enjoy!
