Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots, trimmed and peeled
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add carrots, cover, and steam until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 3
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in brown sugar until dissolved; add brandy, orange juice, and cornstarch. Stirring constantly, bring sauce to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thick, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over carrots in baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, about 30 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

Cook’s Note:

To make ahead, pour sauce over carrots and let cool; refrigerate until about 1 hour before serving time. Let dish reach room temperature before baking for 30 minutes. You can warm in microwave oven for 5 minutes instead of baking.
