Citrus-Glazed Carrots

These citrus-glazed carrots offer a vibrant and sophisticated twist on a classic vegetable side dish. By simmering tender carrot slices in a bright infusion of fresh orange juice, lime zest, and a touch of butter, you create a beautifully glossy finish that balances natural sweetness with a sharp, zesty kick. The addition of fresh parsley provides a crisp, herbaceous contrast to the rich syrup, making this a colourful addition to any dinner table.

This vegetarian recipe is an excellent choice for those looking to elevate a Sunday roast or a festive spread without much fuss. Because the carrots can be partially prepared a day in advance, it is a stress-free option for hosting dinner parties. Serve them alongside roasted meats or nut roasts to bring a refreshing, seasonal brightness to your meal.

How to make Citrus-Glazed Carrots

Combine carrots and 475ml water in heavy large skillet. Add all remaining ingredients except parsley. If needed, add enough water to just cover carrots. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil just until carrots are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, 8 to 9 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer carrots to medium bowl; cool. Boil cooking liquid in skillet until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover carrots and cooking liquid separately; chill.

Bring reserved cooking liquid to boil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots and boil until just tender and liquid is thickened to light syrup consistency, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley.
