Glazed Carrots with Thyme in a Skillet

Ingredients:

• 700 g carrots, peeled and cut into 2.5 cm pieces.
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme + extra for serving

Preparation:

1. Place the carrots in a single layer in a large, lidded skillet. Add enough water to half-cover the carrots, then add the butter, sugar, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
2. Cover and simmer over low heat until carrots are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Remove the lid, increase the heat to high, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost completely evaporated and the carrots are glazed. Discard the thyme sprigs, season the carrots with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, if using.
