- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled, cut into equal-sized pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
- 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. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
