Easy Pomegranate Glazed Carrots Recipe (2024)

Easy glazed carrots recipe with pomegranate juice and cinnamon. Jump to theEasy Pomegranate Glazed Carrots Recipe or read on to see our tips for making them.

We are in serious withdrawal. It was only five days ago that our plane touched down at after a trip to Paris. Things were buttery, perfectly flaky, brewed properly and poured generously. Wow, did we have a wonderful time.

As we try to get back into the swing of non-buttery things at home, we made these carrots with a twist – pomegranate!

The pomegranate glaze is tart, but against the sweetness of the carrots, works so well. They take just under 45 minutes to prepare and are striking and beautiful when served. They were perfect hot, but even better at room temperature. Give these a try the next time you have carrots in the house, you’ll love them.

    Sheila, thanks! The pomegranate really adds a nice touch to the carrots – a little sweet, but a touch tart. Hope you enjoy!

  I couldn’t wait to try this simple recipe. I liked it, but did find it too tart. In order to cut the tartness, I added a shot of creme de cassis and let simmer 5 more minutes. It did not mask any of the other flavors, just took out the tartness. Perhaps you will want to experiment with a small amount rather than risk spoiling a delightful dish, but I think that you will agree that it enhances the dish.

    Cathy, We love the idea of using creme de cassis, we can imagine it would be lovely. We agree that the carrots can be a bit tart – the carrots shown in this picture were very small and sweet carrots, adding extra natural sweetness.

    Another way to add a touch of sweetness to the dish for balance could be a dash of agave nectar, sugar or even honey. Plus, the level of tartness could also be related to the brand of pomegranate juice you use.

    Thank you so much for commenting!

  Those carrots look incroyable. Sadly, incroyable is about the only word that I remember from four years of french class. Hope you’ll post more about the trip.
