Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground

4. If using, sprinkle the minced fresh thyme over the glazed carrots for an added layer of flavor.
5. Cook the glazed carrots over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve the Maple-Butter Glazed Baby Carrots warm, garnished with a few extra thyme leaves if desired. Enjoy this sweet and savory side dish that pairs beautifully with any main course.
