These bourbon-glazed, butter-soaked carrots are the greatest special occasion vegetable side dish of all time. Sweet, savory, and oh-so glossy.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- ½ cup bourbon whiskey
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, for garnish (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
