Ingredients
4 Carrots, peeled and sliced
1 Tbsp, Butter, Margarine or Oil
1/2 Cup, Orange Juice
2 Tbsp, Brown Sugar
Sesame Seeds
Tip: If using fresh oranges zest first and/or keep the rind to use in this recipe before squeezing the juice.
Recipe Steps
Cook your carrots until just tender in your preferred method: boiled, steamed, air-fried or oven-roasted. Set aside.
In a saucepan, mix orange juice, butter, brown sugar, some orange rind (if using fresh oranges), and simmer until it thickens a little.
Add the carrots to the saucepan and stir until heated through.
Just before serving, grate some more orange rind (if using), sprinkle with sesame seeds and a sprinkling of The Salty Greek Mild Chilli*.
Tips
*This is the perfect recipe to use our grinders for as you can adjust the dial for a finer blend of seasoning to evenly coat the carrots
Keep any leftover sauce, re-heat for another batch of carrots.
This recipe can be re-heated in the air-fryer and very good on raw carrot slices too!
