How to Make Baked Carrots With Cumin Thyme Butter And Chardonnay

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Tear off a 15-inch (38cm) piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and fold it in half lengthwise.
  3. Place 1 pound (450g) baby carrots (or 2 cups sliced whole carrots), 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and salt and pepper to taste in the center of the foil.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup dry Chardonnay over the carrots and seasonings.
  5. Fold the foil over to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to prevent leaks.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. If using whole carrots, they may take a little longer to cook.
  7. Carefully open the foil packet (it will be hot!), letting the steam escape. Serve immediately.
