2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
3 tablespoons honey
04 -
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Fresh parsley, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
If you're using whole baby carrots, no need to cut them. If they're thicker than ½ inch, consider halving them lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
02 -
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the baby carrots. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are just tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
03 -
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the honey and stir until combined.
04 -
Carefully add the cooked carrots to the skillet. Toss them in the honey-butter mixture until well coated.
05 -
Sprinkle in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine, allowing the carrots to caramelize for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
06 -
Just before removing from heat, drizzle the lemon juice over the carrots and give one last gentle toss to incorporate.
07 -
Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
# Notes:

For best results, choose carrots of similar size to ensure even cooking
