Ingredients
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil (olive oil)
- 1 pound carrots
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup pecans, chopped (and toasted)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375° F.
-
Step 2: In an oven-proof skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat and saute onions for about 5 minutes. Peel and slice carrots about 1/4" thick on the diagonal and add to onions. Continue to saute for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often so onions don't burn.
-
Step 3: Add maple syrup and seasonings. Add raisins. Stir to mix well.
-
Step 4: Place skillet in preheated 375° F. oven for 20 minutes, stirring half way through.
-
Step 5: In the meantime, place chopped pecans in a small dry skillet and toast them on medium-low heat until you can smell them toasting. This brings out the oils and flavor.
-
Step 6: Remove carrots from oven and test for desired doneness. Add pecans to carrots and stir in. Serve immediately.
