About this Recipe
This recipe makes carrots truly amazing! Carrots will be a huge win as a side dish once again, even the kids at the family table will scarf these up.
Just grab a large skillet and throw in some olive oil and salt and pepper to start cooking the carrots.
Add water, put the lid on and steam for 10 minutes until they’re tender. If your skillet doesn’t have a lid you can use heavy-duty aluminum foil instead, it just might take a few more minutes to cook.
Once the carrots are tender, pour the whiskey glaze on top and toss to coat. We know you’ll be picking these veggies right out of the skillet, but do try and save some for the table!
Pour the carrots right into a serving dish and get them on the table while they are hot. Garnish simply with a few pieces of fresh thyme and some thyme leaves to make yourself look fancy.
