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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and trim the carrots, then cut them into evenly sized sticks or rounds to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Step 3

Add the garlic, minced, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 4

Stir in the fresh thyme leaves and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavor.

Step 5

Add the carrots to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the oil, butter, garlic, and thyme mixture.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once the carrots are tender, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly. Allow the remaining water to evaporate.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve the Garlic and Thyme Glazed Carrots warm as a side dish to complement your main course.
