Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the baby carrots if necessary. You can also cut them into smaller pieces if desired for quicker cooking.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the baby carrots to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm.
- Drain the carrots and set them aside.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the cooked carrots to the skillet. Sauté them for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to develop a slight golden color.
- Add 1/4 cup vinegar to the skillet with the carrots.
- Sprinkle 1.5 tablespoons of sugar over the carrots and stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
5. Glazing Process:
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the vinegar and sugar mixture thickens and forms a glaze that coats the carrots. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Make sure the carrots are well-coated with the sweet-and-sour glaze for a consistent flavor throughout.
- Once the glaze has achieved your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a pinch of salt or some fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
- Transfer the honey-glazed sweet-and-sour baby carrots to a serving dish.
- Serve them warm as a delicious side dish to complement your main course.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, young carrots for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to evenly coat the carrots with the glaze for maximum taste.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference if you prefer more or less sweetness.
