Enjoy these sweet and savory Maple Glazed Carrots with Thyme. This simple side dish balances the earthiness of carrots with the sweetness of maple and the aromatic touch of fresh thyme, making it a perfect addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the sliced carrots in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
  2. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the cooked carrots, maple syrup, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot.
  4. Toss gently to coat the carrots evenly with the glaze.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the carrots.
  6. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use frozen carrots, but thaw and drain them well before cooking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet flavor, reduce the maple syrup slightly.
  • Fresh thyme makes a big difference in flavor here.
