Insert the small metal chopping blade into the small work bowl of the Cuisinart® Food Processor and process the ginger; remove work bowl and reserve. Insert the slicing disc, adjusted to 5mm, into the large work bowl and slice the carrots. Melt the butter in a large skillet placed over medium heat. Once butter is melted, add the ginger and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, salt, pepper, syrup and zest. Sauté for about 25 minutes, stirring carrots occasionally during cooking time. Once carrots are tender, remove with a slotted spoon. Continue to reduce liquid until it is a glaze-like consistency, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle glaze over carrots and serve.
