Maple Orange Glazed Carrots

Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots, peeled, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• Pinch cinnamon

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large, wide sauté pan over medium heat. Add the carrots, turn them through the butter so they’re coated, then season with salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
2. Pour in the maple syrup and let it cook for a minute longer. Add the orange juice, put the lid on the pan, and cook for 3 more minutes.
3. Take off the lid and raise the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring now and then, until the liquid has nearly cooked off. Pull the pan from the heat.
4. Scatter the cinnamon over the carrots, then stir in the orange zest.
