Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Colander
  • 12” Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds carrots peeled and sliced on a diagonal
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme plus extra for garnish
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into similar-sized pieces. Cut the thinner ends into 1-inch pieces and the thicker ends into about ½-inch slices.
  • Place sliced carrots in a large skillet or pot. Add salt and enough water to cover the carrots. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat. Cook until tender, about 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Drain carrots and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, cooking until it just starts to brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in honey and thyme, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Return carrots to the skillet. Add remaining ½ teaspoon salt and pepper, stirring to coat. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm.
