How to Make Glazed Baby Carrots With Thyme

  1. Rinse 1 pound of baby carrots and combine them in a large stainless steel or nonstick frying pan with 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the water has evaporated.
  3. Remove the lid and stir the carrots frequently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and caramelize.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon of ground thyme, or 3/4 - 1 teaspoon of dried thyme).
  5. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig (optional) and serve immediately.
