How to Make Honey Bourbon Glazed Carrots

  1. Preheat a large heavy skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces) to the skillet.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup of bourbon and 1/4 cup honey. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a thick, glossy glaze, about 10-12 minutes. If the glaze is reducing too quickly, lower the heat slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
