Savory and umami-packed miso butter glazed carrots with a perfect hint of sweetness. This simple yet flavorful side dish comes together in under 20 minutes, making it ideal for holiday menus or quick weeknight dinners. The carrots are seared for caramelized edges, steamed for tenderness, and finished with a rich miso butter glaze for a deliciously balanced taste.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Baby carrots
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2.5 tablespoons Butter (divided)
  • 1.5 tablespoons Miso paste
  • 1.5 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable or chicken stock
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots and miso butter mix: Clean and trim the tops of the baby carrots. In a bowl, combine miso paste, 1 tablespoon of softened butter, maple syrup, and minced garlic to create the miso butter glaze.
  2. Sear the carrots: Heat a heavy bottom 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 1.5 tablespoons butter, then add the carrots. Sear for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the carrots develop slightly caramelized edges.
  3. Steam the carrots: Reduce the heat to medium-low, add 1/4 cup of vegetable or chicken stock, and immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Let the carrots steam for about 1 minute to become tender while retaining a pleasant crunch.
  4. Stir and continue cooking: Remove the lid, give the carrots a good stir, and cook uncovered for another minute to concentrate flavors.
  5. Add the miso butter glaze: Lower the heat further, add the prepared miso butter mixture to the skillet, and toss the carrots thoroughly to coat them evenly with the glaze.
  6. Create a finishing sauce: Pour the remaining stock into the pan, stir gently to combine, and cook for just 30 seconds to form a light sauce. Switch off the heat.
  7. Serve and garnish: Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use softened butter for easier mixing with the miso paste and maple syrup.
  • To keep the carrots tender yet crunchy, do not over-steam. One minute with the lid on is sufficient.
  • Vegetable stock keeps this dish vegetarian; chicken stock can be used for added richness.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
