Provided by lutzflcat

Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound carrots, peeled
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¼ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 sprigs fresh thyme
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Maldon® sea salt flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Lower the bag into the water bath until bag is completely submerged, then clip the bag to the side of the container. Be prepared to weigh the bag down if you see it starting to float.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 180, Carbohydrate 33 g, Cholesterol 0 mg, Fat 1, Fiber 3 g, Protein 1 g, SaturatedFat 1 g, ServingSize 1 Serving, Sodium 135 mg

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and bright color. Avoid carrots with blemishes or bruises.
  • Trim the carrots: Trim the ends of the carrots and peel them if desired. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the carrots to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly and will result in mushy carrots.
  • Cook the carrots over medium-high heat: Medium-high heat will help the carrots to caramelize and develop flavor.
  • Stir the carrots frequently: Stirring the carrots frequently will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland. Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Glaze the carrots: Pour the glaze over the cooked carrots and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the carrots are heated through.
  • Serve the carrots: Serve the carrots immediately as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Maple glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and savory flavor, these carrots are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but elegant side dish, give maple glazed carrots a try!
