An orange glaze brings out the sweetness in one of the kid-friendliest vegetables around. With convenient pre-shredded carrots, there's no chopping required.

4 servings, 1 cup each | Active Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes

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

Preparation

1. 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 to 6 minutes.
