Best Ginger And Honey Glazed Carrots Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Season chicken generously with salt inside and out. Place head of garlic inside cavity; tie legs together if desired. Let sit at least 5 minutes or chill, uncovered, up to 2 days.
• Combine carrots, shallots, ginger, butter, and honey in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot; season lightly with salt. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables so lid will sit tight. Cover; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, about 2 hours. Uncover and let rest 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook oil and sliced garlic in a small saucepan over medium until garlic is lightly browned, 6-8 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and let cool. Stir in lime juice; season dressing with salt.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until skin is browned and crisp, 10-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place pot over medium-high heat; bring juices to a simmer. Cook, reducing heat as needed, until vegetables are glazed, 10-12 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until chicken is done.
• Serve chicken on top of vegetables with dressing drizzled over.

GINGER AND HONEY GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a 12- or 14-inch heavy skillet bring water to boiling, add carrots.
• Return to boiling; reduce heat.
• Cover and simmer about 10 to 12 minutes or until carrots are just tender and drain.
• (I prefer to use my Cuisinart Turbo Convection Steamer ).
• Carefully turn out onto prepared baking sheet.
• (When green tops are left on carrots during cooking, they become very fragile. As the carrots cook, some of the tops may come off.).
• Pat dry with additional paper towels.
• To glaze carrots, in the same heavy skillet combine margarine, honey, ginger, and salt.
• Stir constantly over medium heat until margarine is melted.
• Carefully add carrots.
• Toss gently for 2 to 3 minutes or until carrots are thoroughly coated with glaze and heated through completely.
• To serve, arrange carrots in a shallow bowl or on a platter; drizzle with remaining glaze from pan.
