Plant-Based Bourbon Glazed Carrots are a sweet, slightly boozy side dish that is full of flavor, yet healthy. They are oil-free, gluten free, and have no refined sugar.
If you love bourbon or carrots, you're going to love this one. Personally, I love both, so this recipe is perfect for me.
But even if you're not a whiskey drinker you can still enjoy these carrots. The bourbon mostly cooks off and you are left with a sweet, sticky glaze that complements the natural sweetness of the carrots.
Top the cooked carrots with some cilantro to give the dish a fresh flair and you've got yourself a tasty Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish. You can easily increase or decrease the yield of this recipe to feed a crowd or to serve 1-2 people.
I'm such a big fan of carrots that it took me only a few days to eat the entire recipe. But you don't have to love carrots as much as I do. Maybe after trying this recipe you will...
Step 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable broth in a large pan over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook for 5-8 minutes, adding more vegetable broth if the carrots start to stick to the pan.
Step 2. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the bourbon and cook until it is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Step 3. Add the syrup, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the carrots are almost cooked through.
Step 4. When the carrots are almost cooked, turn up the heat and allow the glaze to thicken for about 30 seconds.
Step 5. Remove the carrots from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
Praise Jesus for easy, healthy dishes that we can feed ourselves and our families. Thank You for Your abundance. Amen.
