Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 large carrots or 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½" rounds
  • cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste

Instructions

  • Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a lidded saute pan large enough to hold the carrots in a single layer.
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • When the butter has melted, add the carrots and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    2 large carrots or 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ½" rounds
  • Add the broth (it should come about halfway up the sides of the carrots), honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook at a simmer until the carrots can be pierced easily with a fork. If the pan has dried before this has happened, add a little bit of water and continue braising. If liquid remains in the pan when the carrots are done, remove the lid and continue cooking for a few minutes until the pan is nearly dry.
