Ingredients

1 ½ pounds baby carrots

¼ cup butter

⅓ cup maple syrup

Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place baby carrots in a pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender.
  2. Drain carrots and transfer to a serving bowl.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter and stir in maple syrup. Cook for 1–2 minutes until warm and blended.
  4. Pour glaze over carrots, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • For roasted carrots, toss in glaze and roast at 400°F for 25–30 minutes until caramelized.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or fresh herbs for flavor variation.
  • Sliced large carrots work just as well as baby carrots.
