Servings: servings

1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup yellow onion, minced
6 medium carrots, peeled and cut at an angle into 1/2-inch-thick ovals about 1 pound
½ cup water
2 tablespoons maple syrup
¼ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

Melt the butter in a medium skillet. Add the onions and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the carrots, water, maple syrup, and salt.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, the carrots should be softening, but not yet tender.
Increase heat to high, and simmer until the liquid in the pan has thickened enough to coat the carrots, 4-5 minutes. The carrots should be fork-tender, but still a bit crisp. Take care not to overcook.
Remove from the heat, stir in the parsley, adjust the salt if needed, and serve immediately.
