Brown Carrots

Brown Carrots

We can't forget our veggies on Thanksgiving! This is a great recipe for Thanksgiving because it transforms a simple vegetable into a super easy yet elegant side dish.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds carrots. (this varies depending on how many people you're cooking for, so go with your instinct on this one)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Directions

1. Peel carrots and cut off the tops. Cut or chop the carrots to your size preference.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and season with salt and pepper; stir to coat with oil. Let cook for 3 minutes, then add brown sugar and molasses; stir to coat. Cook until carrots are tender and sauce is thick, 5 to 8 minutes, adding 1/2 to 1 cup water as necessary to prevent sugar from burning.
3. Add butter and rosemary to skillet; cook until butter is melted. Remove rosemary and discard. Transfer carrots to a serving dish.
