Carrot Saute with Honey and Thyme

1. 1

   Chop the carrots into similar sized pieces. I prefer 2-3 inch long sticks, about 1/2 inch thick. You can also chop them into thick slices if you prefer.

   Heat the butter and oil in a cast iron skillet or other heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the carrots, cover, and cook undisturbed for four minutes.

4. 4

   Uncover, stir, and add the thyme, salt to taste, and red pepper flakes, if desired.

5. 5

   Cook an additional two minutes, then stir in the honey.

6. 6

   Cook another 1-2 minutes or until the carrots are browned and fork tender.
