1
Wash and Peel Carrots
Rinse the baby carrots under cold water to remove any dirt. If they are not already peeled, use a vegetable peeler to peel the outer layer.
2
Prepare Glaze
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the maple syrup, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Stir until combined and bring to a gentle simmer.

3
Cook Carrots
Add the baby carrots to the saucepan with the glaze. Stir to coat the carrots evenly with the maple mixture.
4
Simmer
Cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Let the carrots simmer in the glaze for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender, stirring occasionally.

5
Serve
Once the carrots are tender and glazed, remove them from heat. Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the saucepan. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
