Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots or regular carrots peeled (if using regular carrots) and cut diagonally into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt more if needed
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or finely chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Combine carrots, sugar, chicken broth, vinegar and salt in a 12-inch (non-stick, if you have one) skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cover and reduce heat to medium and maintain a steady simmer. Cook until carrots are almost tender when poked with the tip of a paring knife, about 7-9 minutes (this will depend on the size of the carrot pieces).
- Uncover, increase heat to high, and simmer rapidly, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost gone, 2-4 minutes.
- Add the butter and honey. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are tender, the liquid evaporates, and the carrots are coated with the glaze. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves or finely chopped fresh rosemary over the carrots and cook for another minute, stirring several times.
- Taste and season, if needed with more salt. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and the remaining ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme.
