Ingredients

1 1/2 cups baby carrots

2 tsp. butter

1/2 cup apple cider

1 tbs. agave nectar (or maple syrup or brown sugar)

Pinch of dried thyme

Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Fill a small pot with cold water and add carrots. Bring to a simmer and cook until almost tender, about 8 minutes. You’ll know it’s almost tender, when you stick a fork in a carrot and it gives way but doesn’t break in 1/2. Drain.

While the carrots are simmering, add rest of ingredients in a small saute pan and bring to a boil. Simmer down until it’s syrupy but still liquidy enough to coat the carrots.

Add drained carrots to the glaze and mix, cooking the carrots a minute in the glaze over medium heat.
