Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 100 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Stir in the sliced carrots and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Add the mustard mixture and water to the pan with the carrots. Stir to coat the carrots evenly.
Step 8
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 9
Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate and the carrots to fully glaze.
Step 10
Transfer the Thyme and Mustard Carrots to a serving platter, garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired, and serve warm.
