Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g carrots
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp thyme leaves (fresh)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into even-sized sticks or rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil with 1/2 tsp of salt.
Add the carrots to the boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are just tender but still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
Mince the garlic cloves and sauté them in the olive oil for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and honey to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Toss in the cooked carrots and gently stir to coat them in the vinegar mixture.
Sprinkle in the fresh thyme, black pepper, and an additional pinch of salt if needed.
Cook for 5 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the carrots to slightly caramelize.
Remove from heat and serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish.
