These carrots cook low and slow in butter and maple syrup until the liquid reduces into a glossy coating that clings to every piece. With just three ingredients and minimal prep, this side comes together quickly for weeknight dinners or holiday tables alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Peel the carrots and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

  2. Place the carrots in a 9-inch skillet and add enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the carrots are just fork-tender, about 8 minutes, then drain off the water.

  4. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter, maple syrup, and salt to the carrots.

  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the liquid reduces into a glossy glaze that coats the carrots, about 7 minutes.

  6. Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
