  • Reviews

  • “Excellent recipe. I took out 4 tbsp of orange juice and added 4 tbsp brandy. Thie is a keeper Thanks Traci & JeffUPDATE: Simple, quick and the glaze adds a bit of elegance to our friend the carrot. I served them with an asparagus casserole and plain rice with Shoarma beef stir fry.”

  • “This is a great recipe and very easy.It serves anywhere from 3 to 6 people, depending what other vegetable you may serve with them.Also depends on how many people really love carrots.Very east and tasty.Roberta”

  • “I think the next time – I will try it without the OJ.I had to add a little corn starch to thicken the glaze.”

  • “So simple and yet so good, for 3 of us used 1/2lb of carrots therefore scaling back other ingredients accordingly.I steamed my carrots for 10 minutes so they still had a good bit of crunch and then finishing their cooking in the glaze made them perfect and gave them a lovely flavour which we all enjoyed.Thank you Traci & Jeff Poole2, made for All You Can Cook Buffet.”

  • “Great recipe. I followed the advice of others and used just a couple splashes of orange juice. Nice flavor. Even my daughter liked it!”

  • “Wish my mom had made these growing up – delicious and a bit runny.”

  • “This was a pretty good recipe though, like other reviewers have said, I’d have liked it more “glazy” and less runny.A touch less Orange Juice next time will probably give me the desired result. The flavors together though worked really well.The orange juice adds just the right bit of tartness to contrast the brown sugar (which I love).Nice recipe, maybe try less OJ and we’re good.”

  • “This was a decent recipe but personaly i consider glazed carrots to have a little bit more glaze than a juice to them, but this could be a personal thing too. It did taste good but could use a bit more of a thickening. I Would suggest starting with just a tablespoon of orange juice and a Tablespoon butter, then adding more oj later until it’s the consistency you like :)”

  • “very good and simple…had it with turkey dinner”

  • “A nice, simple and sweet carrot dish. What need I more say?Thanks for the recipe!”

  • “I agree with the other reviews, it never does form a true glaze. I even added a bit of cornstarch hoping it would thicken a bit but it still didn’t. I did enjoy the flavor and will make them again.”

  • “Great , loved it. I will used less oj next time though. “

  • “These tasted okay just not what I expected. I used baby carrots. They never got a good glaze to them. Maybe less OJ……..”

  • “These are very tasty carrots! They might have a glazed lok to them (they mostly look wet) but no glaze really forms in the sauce because of the heavy amount of the orange juice. I even tried doubling the brown sugar and it still didn’t thicken up. I added a pinch of dijon to the sauce to give it an extra flavor edge, which I liked. Will make again, but next time go much lighter on the juice. Thanks for posting!”

  • “Quick, easy & delicious – what more can you ask for? Thanx Traci & Jeff!”

  • “This is so easy to make with ingredients I already had on hand! I expected the glaze to be a little thicker, but it was delicious just the way it was. A nice sweet carott recipe. Thanks!”

  • “Very tasty indeed.I used fresh pre-packaged baby carrots and halved the recipe.Came out just fine.Thanks for sharing! “

  • “On short notice for afriend coming over, I pulled a can of carrots from the pantry.I have used brown sugar before, but never orange juice.The missing ingredient! The carrots which accompanied a grilled steak and salad were devoured completely. Thanks for the recipe.”
