How to make Orange Glazed Carrot Ribbons:
The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post. Buy the largest carrots you can find for this recipe… that will make it easier to create the “ribbons.” Use a vegetable peeler to peel off the skin. Then run the vegetable peeler down the length of the carrots to create the ribbons. Cook them in boiling, salted water for about 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry. For the sauce, heat a skillet and combine the orange juice and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until reduced. Then add in the carrots and butter. Cook until the carrots absorb most of the orange syrup. Add honey and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, and enjoy!
