makes 4-6 servings
4 cups sliced (on the diagonal) carrots
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon Bourbon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup water
1. Add all of the ingredients to a large skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covering the skillet with a lid. Continue to simmer until the carrots are tender and the liquid has thickened to a glaze, about 15-20 minutes. If carrots have tenderized and the liquid has not thickened, remove the lid completely and increase the heat to medium-high until a glaze forms. Serve immediately.
