Orange Glazed Carrots - MA SNAP-ED

Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots
• 1 cup orange juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• Pinch ground black pepper
• Colander
• Cutting board
• Large pot
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Medium bowl
• Medium skillet
• Sharp knife
• Vegetable peeler
• Fill a large pot half-full with water. Bring to a boil.
• While waiting for water to boil, rinse, peel, and slice carrots into ¼-inch slices.
• Add carrots to boiling water. Cook until slightly soft but still a bit crunchy, about 7–10 minutes.
• In a colander, drain carrots. Rinse under cold water.
• In a medium bowl, add carrots, salt, basil, black pepper, and orange juice sauce. Toss until carrots are fully coated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• To save time, steam carrots in the microwave instead of cooking on the stove. Place carrots in a microwave-safe dish with ½ cup of water for 3–5 minutes.
• Try parsnips instead of carrots.
• Use other dried herbs like dill or parsley instead of basil, if you like.
