Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole carrots peeled
  • 1/3 cup salted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place peeled and washed carrots in 9x13 baking pan.
  • Add butter to a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes. Stir often, watching the color of the butter. As soon as the milk solids at the bottom of the pan are just slightly brown, immediately remove from the heat.
  • Stir the remaining ingredients into the butter and pour over the carrots. Toss carrots so they are well coated.
  • Bake at 400°F for 40-60 minutes, until they are fork tender. Cook time will vary based on the size of the carrots.
  • Serve the carrots with an butter from the pan poured over top and garnished with a sprig of thyme.

Notes

To speed up the cooking time, slice the carrots in half lengthwise.
