Brandy Glazed Carrots

Brandy Glazed Carrots feature tender, steamed slices baked in a shiny orange-brandy sauce that balances gentle sweetness with a warm, aromatic finish. The butter and brown sugar create a silky glaze that clings to each piece, ideal for holiday tables or weeknight roasts. A sprinkle of parsley brightens the dish right before serving.

Brandy Glazed Carrots
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Place a steamer insert in a saucepan and add water until it sits just below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the carrots, cover, and steam until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Move them to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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