Yield: 4 • Prep: 5 min • Cook: 25 min • Total: 30 min

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
• 1 1/2 pounds large carrots (peeled and sliced)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional garnish - chopped)

Instructions

1. [How to Make Brown Butter:]
2. Cut the butter into pieces then add to a skillet and melt butter over medium heat.
3. Cook butter slowly, stirring often, allowing it to melt evenly. You’ll see it start to foam – keep stirring but watch closely so the butter doesn’t burn.
4. The foam will start to subside and the butter will become a light golden brown color with a delicious nutty aroma signaling it’s done.
5. Remove from the heat then blend in the honey, chopped thyme and grated garlic. Set aside.
6. [The Carrots:]
7. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees then peel and slice the carrots into about 2-inch pieces. It’s important the carrots are about the same size so they’ll cook evenly.
8. Combine the sliced carrots with the butter mixture in the skillet, stirring well so all the carrots are coated.
9. Transfer carrots to a rimmed baking sheet (including the butter sauce) in an even layer.
10. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Transfer to a serving dish. Optional: garnish with parsley and serve right away.
