This makes a bright and delicious side veggie dish for any occasion at any time of year.  They gleam with an orange-ginger glaze.  Be sure to use fresh ginger!

  2. 2 tsp sugar

  3. 1 tsp cornstarch

  4. ¼ tsp salt

  5. ¼ tsp fresh ground ginger, or more to taste

  6. ¼ cup orange juice

  7. 2 TBSP butter

  8. fresh chopped parsley for garnish



Steam or cook carrots over/in boiling water until just tender, 10 - 15 minutes.  Drain carrots.  Meanwhile, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and ginger in a small saucepan.  Place over medium heat and whisk in orange juice, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and bubbles.  After bringing to a boil for 1 minute, stir in butter.  Pour sauce over carrots, tossing to coat evenly.  Garnish with parsley and serve.
