Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Carrots

    Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into uniform slices, about 1/4 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Carrots

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Drain the carrots and set aside.

  2. 3

    Make the Amaretto Butter Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

  3. 4

    Add Amaretto

    Carefully pour in the amaretto liqueur, stirring continuously. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 5

    Combine Carrots and Sauce

    Add the cooked carrots back into the pot with the amaretto butter sauce. Toss gently to coat the carrots evenly in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the carrots are heated through and well glazed.

  5. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the carrots and give them one last gentle toss. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
