How to Make Baked Carrots With Caramelized Onions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop the carrots into 1-inch thick slices. The larger the carrots, the better!
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
  4. Add the carrots to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Toss to coat with the butter and onion juices.
  5. Season generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and brown sugar.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the carrots are partially submerged.
  7. Cover the skillet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
  8. Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the carrots are slightly browned and the liquid has reduced slightly.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving. Enjoy!
