Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Rubber Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Carrots Peeled and Chopped
  • 1 Tsp Corn Starch
  • 1 Cup Chicken Broth Or veggie broth if you prefer
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Chives
  • Cup Sliced Almonds Toasted
  • 1 Lemon Juice and Zest

Instructions

  • Peel and slice your carrots however you like. I prefer small sticks.
  • Toss the carrots in corn starch to coat.
  • In your skillet, combine broth, butter, and sugar, on medium-high heat.
  • Once combined and simmering, add the carrots. Reduce heat to about medium.
  • Simmer and cook the carrots for about 10-15 minutes, until the carrots are starting to turn tender. Stir occasionally to cook evenly.
  • Increase heat to simmer and reduce the glaze.
  • When the carrots are nearly the texture you want and the glaze is thickened, add your lemon zest, lemon juice, and chives, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, stir in almond slices, and serve!
