Plant-Based Bourbon Glazed Carrots
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.
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Vegetable Broth
- 2 Pounds Carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
- ½ Cup Bourbon
- 3 Tablespoons Maple or Date Syrup
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
- ⅛ Teaspoon Cayenne
- Cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- 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.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the bourbon and cook until it is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
- Add the syrup, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the carrots are almost cooked through.
- When the carrots are almost cooked, turn up the heat and allow the glaze to thicken for about 30 seconds.
- Remove the carrots from the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
