Spiked with fresh ginger and orange juice, sauteed grated carrots make an appealing, textural side dish. To speed up preparation time, use a food processor to grate the carrots or purchase them already grated.
2 teaspoons canola oil 3 cups grated carrots (6 medium-large) 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger 1/2 cup orange juice 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add carrots and ginger; cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in orange juice and salt; simmer, uncovered, until the carrots are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with pepper and serve.
