  • Add carrots to skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the water. Bring just to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 8 to 10 minutes or until carrots are nearly tender.

  • Remove and discard rosemary sprig. Add juice, maple syrup, mustard and cayenne pepper to carrots; increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until liquid is syrupy and carrots are lightly glazed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl; sprinkle with orange zest.

*Prep Tip

To make long strips of slivered zest, peel wide strips of orange zest using a vegetable peeler, then cut them into thin strips. (Or just use a zester or Microplane.)
