Orange Glazed Carrots
Carrots with Orange Glaze

I like buttered cooked carrots and
decided to add some orange to the recipe.
An orange glaze brings out the sweetness.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 10-ounce bags shredded or julienne-cut carrots
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Whisk orange juice, broth and cornstarch in a small bowl.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add carrots and cook, stirring constantly,
until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir the juice mixture and add to the carrots
along with butter and salt. Cover and continue cooking,
stirring occasionally, until the butter melts
and the carrots are tender, 5-6 minutes.
