A delightful side dish combining the natural sweetness of carrots with the warm flavors of apple and cinnamon.
Peel and slice the carrots into even pieces.
Cutting the carrots into uniform pieces ensures they cook evenly.
In a saucepan, combine the apple juice, butter, cinnamon, sea salt, and black pepper.
Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute the spices.
Add the sliced carrots to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Cover the saucepan with a lid to retain moisture and cook the carrots faster.
Cook until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Stir in the raisins and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Adding the raisins at the end keeps them plump and flavorful.
Serve the glazed carrots warm, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
