Ingredients

1 pound carrots, sliced

1 cup 100% orange juice

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, and vegetables.
  2. Fill a large pot half-full with water. Bring to a boil.
  3. In a medium frying pan over medium heat, warm orange juice until liquid thickens and reduces by about 3/4. Watch carefully after it reduces by 1/2 so that it does not boil dry in the pan. Juice may take up to 20 minutes to reduce.
  4. Add carrots to boiling water. Cook until slightly soft but still a bit crunchy, about 7-10 minutes.
  5. In a colander, drain carrots. Rinse under cold water.
  6. In a medium bowl, add carrots, salt, basil, black pepper, and orange juice sauce. Toss until carrots are fully coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Tips

  • To save time, steam carrots in the microwave instead of cooking on the stove. Place carrots in a microwave-safe dish with 1/2 cup of water for 3-5 minutes.
