Maple-Braised Carrots

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 4 servings
  • Total: 30 min
  • Active: 15 min
Buttery, steamed carrots are a classic weeknight side dish. For this version, we’ve amped up the flavor using sweet maple syrup, fresh ginger, lemon and thyme, which are all cooked together in a skillet until tender and saucy.

Directions

  1. Trim and peel 1 1/2 pounds carrots; halve lengthwise and crosswise. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons grated ginger and cook 30 seconds. Add the carrots, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 4 strips lemon zest, 2 thyme sprigs, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, a pinch of cayenne and 1/2 cup water; stir. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until tender but still saucy, 15 minutes. Discard the thyme; top with chopped chives.

Delicious, not too sweet. I loved the lemon peel. I sliced it up thin and it added great flavor. I will make again.
