  • Prep Time 20 minutes
  • Total Time 40 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    • 2 1/2 pounds baby carrots, peeled and trimmed
    • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

  1. In a large straight-sided skillet, bring 1 1/3 cups water, brown sugar, and butter to a boil over high. Add carrots and reduce heat. Partially cover and simmer until slightly tender, 10 minutes. Uncover and cook, gently tossing often, until carrots are tender and glazed, about 6 minutes. Stir in thyme and cook 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Cook's Note

So Simple: Cooking carrots in a bit of water, butter, and sugar brings out their delicate flavor and coats them with a thin glaze. Instead of baby carrots, you can substitute medium carrots, cut into thin slices.

Try This: Fresh thyme is wonderful with carrots, but dill or parsley would be delicious, too.
