Preparation

Step 1

In a 12-14 inch skillet on medium-high, heat the oil. Add carrots and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in broth and 1/2 tsp. salt, scraping up any browned bits in the skillet with a spoon and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.

Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook until liquid has almost entirely evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and butter, stirring until butter melts. Add additional salt and sprinkle with parsley.
