Basil Glazed Carrots
8 large carrots, cut into 1/4″ slices diagonally (peeling optional)
3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 heaping tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
Steam the carrots over boiling water for 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the oil, maple syrup and basil together until quite hot. Add the carrots and toss until they are well-coated. Serve.
You may steam the carrots ahead of time and re-heat in the sauce just before serving.
