Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 milliliters water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots. Slice them into 1/4-inch rounds for even cooking.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes, making sure the garlic does not burn.
Step 6
Stir in the maple syrup, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Add the water to the skillet and cover it with a lid. Allow the carrots to steam and cook for about 5-7 more minutes, or until they are tender to your liking.
Step 8
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high to evaporate any excess liquid, stirring frequently.
Step 9
Once the liquid has nearly evaporated, drizzle the lemon juice over the carrots and give them a final stir.
Step 10
Remove from heat and serve the sautéed carrots warm as a delightful side dish.
