Orange-Glazed Carrot Ribbons

This vibrant vegetarian side dish elevates the humble root vegetable into something truly special. By shaving the carrots into delicate ribbons, you create a larger surface area to soak up the glossy, citrus-infused glaze. The combination of sweet orange juice, rich dark brown sugar, and a touch of honey offers a sophisticated balance to the natural earthiness of the carrots, while a splash of balsamic vinegar adds a subtle, savoury depth.

Perfect for a Sunday roast or a festive dinner party, these orange-glazed carrot ribbons are as visually striking as they are delicious. The recipe is wonderfully practical for entertaining, as the ribbons can be blanched and dried up to six hours in advance. Simply finish them in the frying pan just before serving to ensure a bright, fresh flavour topped with a sprinkle of seasonal chives.
