Ingredients
- 10 10 medium carrots cut into diagonal pieces
- ¼ ¼ cup EACH: bourbon and maple syrup
- 1 1 tablespoon butter or sub vegan butter, if needed
- ½ ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ ½ teaspoon cayenne powder optional
- ⅓ ⅓ cup shelled pistachios chopped
Instructions
- Add the carrots to a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of water and bring it to a boil. Cook the carrots with the lid off until the water has evaporated and the pan is dry, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bourbon, maple syrup, butter, sea salt, and (if using) the cayenne to the pan and bring to a boil. Let the carrots cook, stirring gently several times, until the maple syrup and bourbon reduce to become a glaze that coats the carrots.
- Optional step: continue to cook the carrots for 3-4 minutes more. Watch the pan closely as it is very easy to burn the glaze at this point. Stir the carrots every 15-20 seconds and remove the pan from the heat as soon as you see the glaze begin to darken.
- Serve the bourbon maple glazed carrots with the pistachios sprinkled on top.
