Directions

  1. Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.

  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.

  4. Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.

  5. When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.

  6. Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.

Recipe Note

These butter-soaked bourbon-glazed carrots are the greatest special-occasion carrot side dish of all time. Sweet, savory, and oh so glossy.
