Bourbon Glazed Carrots
Ingredients
1/4 Cup Butter
2lb Carrots, cut up however
1/2 Tsp salt
1/2 Cup bourbon whiskey
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
Pitch cayenne powder
Black pepper to taste
Optional
Fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
When butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, 5 or 6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes
When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, 15 to 30 seconds.
Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper.
