Carrots with sugar
Description
This recipe won't take much time. The classic version of carrots with sugar might seem boring to some. I suggest an original sweet sauce with cumin that can season both baked and raw carrots. 1. Wash the carrots, peel them, but leave the green tops intact. In the finished dish, they will serve as "handles" for holding the carrots. 2. Place the carrots in an ovenproof dish, drizzle with olive oil, and mix. Lightly season with salt. 3. Cover the dish with foil and place in a preheated oven for 45–50 minutes. Check for doneness with a fork—it should pierce the carrots easily. 4. Remove the cooked carrots from the dish and arrange them on a serving plate. 5. Heat butter in a small saucepan. Add sugar. 6. Grate the zest of 1–2 teaspoons of orange. Squeeze juice from the orange. 7. Add the orange juice and zest to the butter mixture. 8. Crush the cumin and add it to the sauce. 9. Simmer over low heat for 2–5 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. 10. Remove from heat and pour over the carrots. Carrots with sugar can also be prepared at home with a different sauce—lemon or berry. Don't be afraid to experiment; this recipe is quite versatile. Serve chilled.
