Low FODMAP glazed carrots
I’ve shared it before, but I always find vegetable side dishes the most difficult to come up with for a big dinner, such as Christmas dinner.
I always think it is important to serve enough vegetables with dinner, so it is nice to have several side dishes with vegetables. Such as a salad and a warm vegetable dish.
Today I have an easy and delicious vegetable side dish for you: low FODMAP glazed carrots.
What are glazed carrots?
Glazed carrots are a classic in my opinion. Carrots from the pan or from the oven are glazed with a shiny sweet layer.
Usually, this is done with honey. But because honey is not low FODMAP, I used maple syrup and a little brown sugar in this recipe.
How do you make low FODMAP glazed carrots?
I make these low FODMAP glazed carrots in the oven. That’s nice and easy and means you don’t have to do much work if you also have to prepare other dishes.
I bought carrots with green on them myself and left a small point of green on each carrot. That looks nice when serving the dish.
You remove the rest of the green and scrape the carrots clean.
For the sweet glaze, heat some butter in a saucepan. Add maple syrup and brown sugar and let it warm for 2 minutes over low heat.
Then season the glaze with a pinch of salt and fresh thyme.
You place the carrots in an oven dish and pour the glaze over them. Make sure all carrots are well covered with the sticky sauce.
Then the carrots go into the oven for 35-45 minutes until they are soft.
And then your simple side dish is ready!
