Elevate the humble root vegetable with this fragrant recipe for spiced butter-glazed carrots. This dish moves away from traditional sugary glazes, instead using a sophisticated blend of fresh ginger, garlic, and smashed cardamom pods to create a deeply aromatic profile. The carrots are gently simmered in a savoury chicken broth before being reduced to a glossy, buttery finish that highlights their natural sweetness without the need for added honey or syrups.
As a diabetes-friendly side dish, these carrots offer a healthy yet indulgent accompaniment to a Sunday roast or grilled white fish. The warmth of the spices makes them particularly comforting during the cooler months, providing a vibrant pop of colour and flavour to any dinner table. Simple to prepare and easy to scale up, they are a versatile addition to your midweek meal rotation.
