Today I am tackling a Martha Stewart Recipe 😉 I made this recipe twice I did exactly how she did it then I did it again with a Budget Savvy Diva twist to it – and in a blind tasting my hubby liked mine better 🙂 What I love about this recipe it is very healthy – full of vitamins BUT it taste so good that it will fly off your families plates. Plus this side pairs very well with almost any entree + it is gluten free 🙂

What You Need

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds carrots ( peeled and cut ( make sure to cut them evenly)
  • 1 cup of orange juice
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

What To Do

– Peel all 2 pounds of carrots
and cut the carrots evenly – you do not want uneven cooking.
Add oil to a heated pan – add carrots and cook until they begin to brown – took about 5 minutes for me.
Add salt and pepper ( pinch of each)
Add honey and orange juice
Heat till it boils then reduce heat and cover for 10 minutes. Then cook for another 10 uncovered
You are wanting to be as little liquid remaining ( there will be some but not more then a tablespoon or so)
Serve and Enjoy

    I have not yet tried this, but it appealed to me and I will try it soon. However, I’ve noticed that, so far, each of your recipes appear to have listed at least one ingredient which is not included in your instructions. In this case, the honey glazed carrots, it is the 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. I assume it is meant to be added as a garnish upon serving. I recognize that this is not critical to the recipe, but I am a detail oriented person and like to have these ‘loose ends’ resolved. Maybe there are others who would appreciate this, too.

    Hi there! This sounds great, I’m going to have to try it sometime. Trouble is that I hardly EVER have OJ on hand. My family LOVES glazed carrots so I thought I’d share with you how I make mine. You will love how simple it is. I use either 1 bag of frozen carrots or about 1 lb of peeled chopped carrots and put them in a sauce pan with about 2 tbsp butter/margarine. I drop LITERALLY a splash of water in (maybe 1 to 2 oz.) and sprinkle a liberal handful of brown sugar over the top. Put the lid on it and let it cook on low heat on the back burner for about 20 to 25 minutes stirring only once or twice to make sure there’s enough liquid in the pan. That’s it! Right before serving, I sprinkle a little salt and pepper on to taste. They’re fabulous. Sorry for the vague measurements but I seriously don’t measure, I just scoop, splash and sprinkle. LOL.
