Instructions
How to Make Brown Butter:
- Cut the butter into pieces then add to a skillet and melt butter over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from the heat then blend in the honey, chopped thyme and grated garlic. Set aside.
The Carrots:
- 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.
- Combine the sliced carrots with the butter mixture in the skillet, stirring well so all the carrots are coated.
- Transfer carrots to a rimmed baking sheet (including the butter sauce) in an even layer.
- 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.
