HONEY-GLAZED CARROTS AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, parsnips, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Cook, gently tossing occasionally, until the carrots and parsnips are tender and golden in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the butter, thyme and 2 tablespoons honey. Toss until the butter is melted and the vegetables are well coated, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon honey and top with more thyme.

WHISKEY-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add carrots in two batches, cooking for 60-90 seconds each batch. Remove from skillet.Pour in whiskey and allow to evaporate 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium, and add remaining butter. When butter melts, sprinkle brown sugar over the top. Stir together, then add carrots to skillet. Cover, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.Remove lid and add salt and pepper. Continue cooking until carrots are done and glaze is thick, about 5 more minutes.Pour onto a platter and serve immediately. Sprinkle with chopped chives if desired. Stick a serving spoon in the mix, and it's time to serve 'em up. And oh, what a wonderful time it is. I gobbled these up 'til I embarrassed myself.And you will, too. I know it.

WHISKEY-GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet (with a lid) over high heat. Add half the carrots and stir them around to brown them quickly, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining carrots.
• Pour the whiskey into the skillet, taking care if you're cooking over an open flame. Let the whiskey bubble up and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the other 1/2 stick of butter and stir it around until it's melted. Stir in the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Add the leaves from 1 of the sprigs of thyme, then add the carrots. Reduce the heat to low, place the lid on the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve garnished with the remaining thyme sprig.

CANDIED CARROTS

Steps:

• Scatter the carrots in a large skillet and add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium heat and cook until the carrots are just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the brown sugar, butter, vinegar, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the skillet. Increase the heat and boil, tossing the carrots occasionally, until the sauce is reduced to a glaze, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
