Instructions

1.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.
Heat olive oil (or melt butter) in an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to lightly brown them.
5.
Pour in the vegetable broth, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the skillet or Dutch oven.
7.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and braise for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork.
8.
Remove the thyme sprigs (if used). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
9.
If desired, simmer on the stovetop (uncovered) for a few minutes to reduce the sauce and create a thicker glaze.
10.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving (optional).

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the carrots to a baking dish after simmering on the stovetop.

You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a slightly different flavor profile.

These braised carrots are best served immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
