Ingredients

• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 2 lb. baby carrots, halved lengthwise if thick
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbs. chopped fresh tarragon

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrots, and sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until beginning to brown.

Add maple syrup, mustard, and up to 1 cup water (careful not to add too much); season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 10 minutes, or until carrots are tender.

Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer 5 minutes, or until liquid is syrupy and carrots are glazed. Stir in tarragon just before serving.
