Description

These glazed carrots offer a sophisticated twist on a classic side dish. The natural sweetness of organic carrots is enhanced by the warm, licorice-like notes of star anise. Cooked in butter and sugar, they develop a glossy, caramelized coating that is both tender and flavorful. This dish pairs beautifully with roasted meats or as a vibrant addition to a holiday table. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the quality of the carrots to shine through, making it an elegant yet easy preparation for any dinner.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the carrots and trim the ends.
  2. Slice the carrots across into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Place the carrot slices in a wide, solid pan that can hold them in two or three layers.
  4. Add the star anise pods directly to the pan.
  5. Sprinkle with sugar and salt, then add butter.
  6. Add enough water to just cover the ingredients.
  7. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil.
  8. Cook uncovered, turning the carrots occasionally, until the water evaporates and the carrots begin to sizzle in the butter and sugar glaze.
  9. Remove from heat once the glaze thickens and coats the carrots, about 12 minutes total.
  10. Discard the star anise before serving.
