Maple-Glazed Carrots

Yield: Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

• 3  pounds  carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
• 1/4  cup  maple syrup
• 2  tablespoons  unsalted butter
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Preparation

Prepare the Carrots
In a large skillet, combine the carrots, syrup, butter, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Cook the Carrots
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring once, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, 12 to 15 minutes. (If the carrots are tender before the liquid has thickened, uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and cook until the liquid forms a glaze.)
