Cook:30min

A low FODMAP vegetable side with maple syrup and orange juice. Hints: - You can use any sized carrots. Larger baby carrots will require more cooking with perhaps a bit of water added and small baby carrots less cooking with the lid removed earlier in the cooking process. Full sized carrots can also be used by cutting them into sticks of 1cm wide, 1cm thick and 8cm length. - For a garlic taste, substitute a teaspoon of butter with a teaspoon of garlic infused oil.

Instructions

Step 1

Over a high heat, melt the butter in a large, preferably non-stick sauté pan with a close fitting lid. Add the cleaned carrots, maple syrup, orange juice, zest (mustard if using) and salt and pepper to taste and gently mix to coat the carrots and bring to the boil.

Step 2

Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat and cook for about 4 minutes. Remove lid, shake and stir occasionally until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Note, you might need to cover the carrots if the liquid gets too low. See tips below

Step 3

Serve immediately and garnish with herbs if you like. They can also be pre-cooked and reheated just prior to servings
