Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon thyme leaves
  • 5 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 16 oz. bags baby carrots
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • parsley chopped

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or medium over medium heat add butter. Once it's melted, whisk in the Italian seasoning, rosemary and thyme until the butter starts to bubble and changes color to golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Whisk in maple syrup and brown sugar until the sugar melts.
  • Add carrots and stir to coat as evenly as possible.
  • Add in water, salt, and pepper, increase heat to high and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Reduce to medium and continue to cook for about 15-20 minutes uncovered to reduce sauce and soften carrots.
  • To garnish, sprinkle chopped parsley before serving.
