Ingredients
- 4 cups Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (or plant-based alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Dry sherry
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or an 8x8-inch glass dish with a small amount of butter or a plant-based alternative.
Step 2
Wash, peel, and grate the carrots until you have 4 cups’ worth. Place the grated carrots into a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Add the melted butter to the grated carrots and toss until evenly coated.
Step 4
Pour in the dry sherry, ground cinnamon, and salt. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 5
Transfer the carrot mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
Step 6
Cover the dish securely with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 7
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and just slightly caramelized around the edges.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 3–5 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added color and brightness.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
