Maple-Glazed Baby Carrots with Pecans

Maple-Glazed Baby Carrots with Pecans Recipe

In case you’re wondering, the only thing “baby” about baby carrots is the name. They’re cut from regular-size carrots.



Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 pounds “baby-cut” carrots
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
1. Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add carrots and mix to lightly coat with butter. Add broth, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Cover, bring to a boil and cook 6 minutes.
2. Uncover and boil, stirring often, until carrots are tender and liquid reduces to a glaze, 15 to 20 minutes. (At this point, carrots can be kept at room temperature up to 2 hours. To reheat, add 1/4 cup water and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until carrots are hot and water evaporates, about 5 minutes.) Stir in pecans. Serves 8 to 10.
