GLAZED CARROTS WITH THYME

Cooking carrots in a bit of water, butter, and sugar brings out their delicate flavor and coats them with a thin glaze. Instead of baby carrots, you can substitute medium carrots, cut into thin slices. Dill or parsley would work here as well.

GLAZED BABY CARROTS WITH THYME



Glazed Baby Carrots With Thyme image

This is adapted from one of Canadian LIving's Best Recipes Ever. It is a lot faster to make than some of the slow cooked glazed carrot recipes. We had these for dinner one night with rice, peas and sweet & sour ribs. They would be great to serve dinner guests. They will think you spent ages working on the dish, when in reality you only need to stir them several times near the end of cooking. If you have children who will look at the carrots & say "What are those funny leaves in there? I AM NOT EATING THAT" just leave the thyme out. You could use dried thyme leaves or ground thyme if you want to, just reduce the amount to about 1/2 tsp ground, or 3/4 - 1 tsp dried leaves. I think this would be great with some lemon thyme in the summer. If you use fresh thyme, garnish your serving dish with a whole sprig of thyme. I hope you enjoy them.

Time 16m

Yield 4 , 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb baby carrots
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse carrots & combine everything but thyme in a stainless steel or nonstick frying pan.
  • Bring to a boil, cover & reduce heat to medium.
  • Cook about 10 minutes, water should be evaporated & carrots tender.
  • Stir carrots seveeral times for about 5 - 10 minutes (5 for glazed, 10 for lightly browned) I left the lid on between stirring.
  • Remove from heat, stir in thyme & serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, young carrots with no blemishes or bruises. Baby carrots are a good option as they are tender and easy to cook.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Carrots should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme and parsley add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick enough: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the carrots evenly. If it's too thin, it will run off the carrots and won't stick.

Conclusion:

Glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious side dish, give glazed carrots a try. You won't be disappointed!
