Instructions
Step 1
Prepare and cut the carrots: If using whole carrots, peel and remove both ends. Slice the carrots diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick discs, or cut into 2-inch-long batons or carrot sticks. Just remember to use the same cut for all the carrots and keep them to about the same size so they cook evenly. Baby carrots can be cooked whole.
Step 2
Warm the butter: Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the carrots: When the butter is hot, add the carrots to the pan and season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots start to soften, about 5 minutes for rounds and carrot sticks, and about 6 to 8 minutes for baby carrots.
Step 4
Add the orange juice and sweetener: Stir in the juice and sweetener (your choice of white or brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup). Cook until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 15 minutes, while stirring occasionally to coat all the carrots.
Step 5
Season and serve: Taste, and season carrots with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
