Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 1.5 tbsp honey
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 60 ml water
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure even cooking.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the garlic, minced, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Add the carrots to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the oil, butter, garlic, and thyme mixture.
Pour in the water and season with salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the carrots steam for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the carrots are tender, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Allow the remaining water to evaporate.
Drizzle the honey over the carrots and toss well to coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the carrots are lightly caramelized and glossy.
Remove the skillet from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the Garlic and Thyme Glazed Carrots warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
