Preparation
Gather Your Ingredients
Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. For this recipe, you will need:
Carrots: Choose fresh, firm carrots with bright orange color for the best flavor.
Butter: Unsalted butter is preferred, but you can use salted butter if that's all you have.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic adds a delicious depth of flavor to the dish.
Thyme: Fresh thyme leaves add a subtle herbiness to the carrots.
Honey: This natural sweetener balances out the savory flavors and adds a touch of sweetness.
Salt and pepper: To taste.
Prepare the Carrots
Peel and slice the carrots into thin, even pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly and quickly. You can also use baby carrots if you prefer. Just make sure they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Cooking Method
Heat the Butter
In a large sauté pan, heat the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam. This is a key step in getting the perfect caramelization on your carrots.
Add the Garlic and Thyme
Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the minced garlic and thyme leaves. Stir constantly for about a minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the Carrots
Add the sliced carrots to the pan and stir to coat them in the butter mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Finish with Honey
Drizzle honey over the carrots and stir to evenly coat them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the honey has caramelized and the carrots are glazed.
