Steps:
- Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the carrots in the boiling water. When they are cooked but still have some crunch, plunge them immediately into the ice water. When cool, use a clean tea towel to rub the skin off the carrots. Reserve.
- To a large skillet add the butter, sugar, lemon juice, garlic, thyme, cayenne and about 1/2 cup of water. Bring the pan to medium heat swirling occasionally. When most of the water has reduced and the mixture seems homogenous, removed the garlic and add the carrots and stir until they are coated. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the carrots are completely coated and hot.
- So good for my eyes!

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender vegetables: Look for baby carrots that are smooth and brightly colored, and Brussels sprouts that are firm and green. Avoid any vegetables that show signs of wilting or bruising.
- Trim and clean the vegetables: Trim the ends of the baby carrots and remove any outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Rinse both vegetables thoroughly under cold water.
- Use a large skillet or roasting pan: You want the vegetables to have enough room to spread out so they can caramelize evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of caramelizing.
- Use a combination of butter and oil: This will help the vegetables brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Season the vegetables generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great options. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and caramelized: This will take about 20-30 minutes. Be sure to stir the vegetables occasionally so they cook evenly.
- Make the glaze: While the vegetables are roasting, make the glaze by combining brown sugar, water, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Glaze the vegetables: Remove the vegetables from the oven and pour the glaze over them. Toss the vegetables to coat them evenly.
- Serve immediately: These vegetables are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Baby carrots and Brussels sprouts glazed with brown sugar and pepper is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The vegetables are roasted until they are tender and caramelized, then glazed with a sweet and savory sauce. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
