I love glazed carrots. They look like jewels on a plate. These Cider Glazed Carrots are a perfect side dish for the holidays, date night or just dinner tonight. A classic Thanksgiving side dish.
I love the look of multi colored carrots, but you can use whatever combination you wish.
Note: When cooking with the dark purple ones, they will bleed when cooking so you can cook them separately if you want to serve them as I did or toss them all together, but the white and yellow ones will loose their color.
So easy and quick to make. Glazed Carrots usually consist of butter and some kind of sweetener to make the glaze like honey or maple syrup. I chose Boiled Apple Cider for this recipe. It’s a very Fall flavor and you skip the step of boiling down regular cider to make a concentrate.
Tips to save time:
Buy pre-cut carrot sticks or pre peeled whole carrots to cut down on prep time.
