Ingredients
-
½ cup butter
-
2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
-
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
-
½ cup bourbon whiskey
-
⅓ cup brown sugar
-
freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
-
2 sprigs fresh thyme, for garnish (Optional)
Directions
-
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foaming. Add carrots and salt; cook and stir in hot butter until liquid evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 to 6 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in bourbon carefully. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in brown sugar; cook and stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
-
Increase heat to medium-high and cook until glaze thickens, 15 to 30 seconds. Season with ground black pepper and cayenne pepper. Transfer carrots to a serving dish and garnish with thyme leaves.
