Molasses Glazed Carrots Recipes

MOLASSES-GLAZED RAINBOW CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Put the carrots on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Pour 2 tablespoons of the butter over the carrots and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Bake until the carrots are browned and soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the carrots are baking, add the oil, molasses, cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, a pinch of salt and the remaining butter to a saucepan. Heat until melted, bubbling and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Transfer the carrots to a serving platter, drizzle with the molasses glaze and sprinkle with the mint and pecans.

• Melt butter in large skillet; stir in remaining ingredients.
• Heat, stirring constantly, to the boiling boil.
• Add carrots, stirring well to coat.
• Simmer, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes, or until nicely glazed.

BROWN-SUGARED CARROTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and season with salt and pepper; stir to coat with oil. Let cook for 3 minutes, then add brown sugar and molasses; stir to coat. Cook until carrots are tender and sauce is thick, 5 to 8 minutes, adding 1/2 to 1 cup water as necessary to prevent sugar from burning.
• Meanwhile, heat grapeseed oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved carrot tops and cook until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Add butter and rosemary to skillet; cook until butter is melted. Remove rosemary and discard. Transfer carrots to a serving dish and sprinkle with reserved fried tops.

• In a large bowl, combine the carrots, olive oil, salt, black pepper and Aleppo flakes. Toss well to coat.
• Spread carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast 15 to 20 minutes or until carrots are almost tender.
• Drizzle with pomegranate molasses, stir well and roast 5 minutes more.

SHERRY VINEGAR AND MOLASSES GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy extra-large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, 1 tablespoon molasses, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; sauté until carrots are coated with butter mixture, about 1 minute. Add 4 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar and enough water to almost cover carrots (about 4 cups) and bring to boil. Cover and boil 2 minutes. Uncover and boil until liquid is reduced to syrup and carrots are tender, stirring often, about 20 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon molasses and 2 tablespoons vinegar to carrots and toss over medium-high heat until carrots are heated through and thickly coated with glaze, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon parsley. Season carrots to taste with more coarse salt and generous amount of ground black pepper. Transfer carrots to large bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and serve.
