Step 1
Put the carrots in a microwave-safe bowl, then add the brown sugar, butter, and orange marmalade on top. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap to keep everything from drying out. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes, then give everything a good stir. If the butter and marmalade haven’t fully melted and coated the carrots yet, pop it back in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each one, until the carrots are nicely glazed and shiny.
Why you’ll love it
These carrots are sweet, tender, and full of flavor without any complicated steps. They come together quickly and make a great side dish for any meal. Plus, they use simple ingredients you probably already have.
How to serve
Serve these carrots alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or baked fish. They also pair nicely with a creamy mashed potato or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or on the stove to keep the glaze intact and the carrots tender.
