Ingredients
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Place the sliced carrots in a medium saucepan and add 1 tablespoon of water.
Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender. Drain any remaining water.
In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the honey, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to the melted butter. Stir to combine.
Return the cooked carrots to the saucepan and toss to coat them evenly with the honey-thyme glaze.
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are fully glazed and heated through.
Remove from heat and transfer the honey glazed carrots with thyme to a serving dish.
Serve warm.
