This elegant baby carrot confit with orange juice and cumin is a vibrant addition to any dinner table. By simmering the carrots in fresh citrus juice rather than refined sugars, the natural sweetness of the vegetable is beautifully enhanced. The addition of ground cumin provides a subtle earthy warmth that balances the bright acidity of the orange, creating a sophisticated flavour profile that pairs perfectly with roasted meats or plant-based mains.
As a nutritious, low-sugar side dish, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a lighter alternative to traditional honey-glazed vegetables. The carrot tops are left trimmed but intact for a rustic, kitchen-garden aesthetic, making this a visually stunning dish for a seasonal lunch. Serve these tender, glazed carrots alongside a Sunday roast or as part of a Mediterranean-inspired spread for a healthy, flavourful boost.

Ingredients for Baby Carrot Confit with Orange Juice and Cumin
4 bunches baby carrots with green tops attached, tops trimmed to 1 1/2 inches, carrots peeled (about 24)
300ml fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
How to make Baby Carrot Confit with Orange Juice and Cumin
Place carrots in pot large enough to hold carrots in double layer. Pour orange juice over; add cumin. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until carrots are just tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer carrots to plate. Boil liquid in pot until slightly reduced and syrupy, about 2 minutes. Stir in butter. Return carrots to pot and simmer just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season carrots to taste with salt and pepper.
