Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. of baby carrots
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 -2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped or 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add carrots. Boil until carrots are just fork tender, not too soft.
  • Drain water.
  • In a frying pan add oil and saute onions and peppers until still tender and slightly crisp.
  • Add in carrots, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • Stir and continue to cook for about 4-5 more minutes or until a nice glaze forms over the carrots.
  • Remove from stove and garnish with chopped or dried parsley

Notes

  1. These carrots can be served warm or at room temperature.
  2. Finish with flair. Right before serving, sprinkle with a touch of flaky salt or fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for a beautiful and flavorful finishing touch. Stir right before serving to redistribute the glaze over the carrots.
  3. Instead of cooking them on the stovetop you can also place them on a baking sheet and roast in a 450 degree F oven until tender and then add balsamic glaze.
