Ingredients

• 2 pounds carrots, halved lengthwise, tops reserved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 teaspoon molasses
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of ground nutmeg

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. Place carrots in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine. Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until just tender.* In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, brown sugar, orange zest, molasses, cinnamon and nutmeg, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly, about 4-5 minutes. Reduce heat; stir in carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until glazed and heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with reserved tops, if desired.
