1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)

1 teaspoon orange zest

Directions

Sauté the carrots: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and sauté for five to seven minutes until they start to soften.

Add the glaze: Stir in the honey, orange juice, orange zest, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.

Braise: Let the carrots cook, stirring occasionally, for fifteen to twenty minutes until they are tender and the glaze has thickened.
