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 the right carrots: Look for baby carrots that are fresh and firm, with no blemishes or bruises. Smaller carrots will cook more evenly and quickly.
- Prepare the carrots properly: Scrub the carrots clean and remove any tough ends. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a hot skillet: When sautéing the carrots, make sure the skillet is hot before adding the carrots. This will help them caramelize and brown properly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When sautéing the carrots, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives lemon glazed baby carrots their signature flavor. Be sure to use a glaze that is made with fresh lemon juice and zest.
- Serve immediately: Lemon glazed baby carrots are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Lemon glazed baby carrots are a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, tangy, and flavorful, and they can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a flavorful side dish, lemon glazed baby carrots are a great option.
