This is one of my favorite side dishes to make because it comes together in just 25 minutes, yet tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen. Carrots are naturally sweet and packed with beta carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A for healthy eyes and skin. What I love most is how the apricot preserves create this gorgeous glaze that caramelizes beautifully, while the orange zest and lemon juice add brightness and prevent the dish from feeling too heavy. It's simple enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough to serve at a dinner party, and it won't break your budget either.
