24k Carrots

These are definitely delicious carrots and SO simple to make. I used a bag of baby carrots and just threw all of the ingredients into a pot with 1 cup of water. Then I brought it to a boil, covered the pan and reduced the heat to a simmer. I simmered the carrots covered for 15 minutes and then uncovered for 10 minutes until the sauce was reduced. My 80 year old Dad looked at the plate and said: "CARROTS? YUK!" I told him to just try 'em, and he did.... He then requested seconds!

I also like to make carrots this way but I like to use fresh ginger root, about 1/2 to 1 tsp chopped fine. I OFTEN make them in the microwave, which means you throw the above ingredients into a glass casserole along with about 1 T. water, cover it with plastic wrap, and micro cook for 6 to 8 minutes right when you are ready to serve.

Loved this very simple and elegant dish for Christmas dinner last night! The ginger really made the dish. I microwaved the sauce, but next time I'll do it on the stove. Everyone loved these! Thanks for a great recipe!

It was ok. Needed to try to thicken the sauce on the heat a bit more.

I tried it and we loved it! Very simple and I doubled the recipe. I steamed the carrots and then mixed in the sauce. Very good. Thanks for posting.

Delicious carrots and very simple to make. Similar to Sooz Cooks I tossed the ingrediants in a pot with a cup of water, brought to boil and reduced heat to low, everything was done in 15 minutes, I still like my carrots to have a little firmness to them and not be mushy. Very easy!

Thank you!!! I hated cooked carrots until now. Temporary following a low residue diet and need to eat well cooked or canned vegetables with no skin. I had some canned ones in the pantry that I knew I should use or donate. I made the sauce in a small skillet and tossed the drained carrots and heated till warm. I also added a little sauce to my plain white rice and it was very nice for a change. This would be great for the microwave or to make camping as it is super easy!!!

I also steamed my carrots and then tossed them with sauce. Additionally, I reduced the sugar and butter by a tiny bit - still yummy, not too strongly flavored to scare off those who aren't exactly ginger fans.

I really liked these carrots and so did MOST of the family. My husband only likes carrots that have been cooked to death, so that might attribute why he was not a fan. I used fresh ginger as I had some on hand.

Though I had to substitute ground ginger for fresh grated, these were delicious! I'll be making them again!

Not that you need another 5 star review, but this recipe is super yummy!! I'm not normally a huge fan of sweetened veggies, but the brown sugar and ginger was a great combo. Even got my 4yo veggie hater to clean his plate! That's saying something. I melted the butter, brown sugar and ginger in a serving dish in the microwave. Then just added my boiled, sliced carrots and tossed to combine. Thank you for the great recipe!

Nice blend of flavors! My husband is not fond of carrots, but ate these and enjoyed them. My 5 yr old daughter liked them too. I did cut the ginger in half. They weren't too sweet and not too buttery. I'll definitely make them again.

UPDATE On 6/20/10: I've made these carrots so many times and can't believe I've never posted a photo. Well, I've made these again and here's the photo. And I have to say they are just as good if not better than the first time they were made. My first time to review this recipe was November 3rd,2006 I just want to say that my SO and I really enjoyed these carrots very much.I thought that the ginger and brown sugar gave the dish that "something special"that is usually missing from carrots.These will be made again,Thank you for posting.

Most of the family really liked this. DH even took the leftover sauce and poured it over some ice cream with bananas for instant bananas foster dessert. I did add a small dash of cinnamon, just because that smelled right. My DD and I still agree that even with a sweet sugar coating, carrots are the most vile, evil vegetable ever created. ;) I will be making this again. One day, I may even taste it! Thanks! :)

Perfect Carrot dish recipe. Definitely 24k. I substituted 2T orange juice for the butter and also added 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Excellent taste. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
