Five simple ingredients come together in this colorful carrot recipe to create an eye-catching side dish that will brighten up any meal. Sliced carrots are simmered in veggie broth with aromatic thyme and sweet maple syrup until they’re fork tender and deliciously glazed. A sprinkling of toasted pecans adds a savory crunch to each bite, turning this simple recipe into a five-star side. Serve these maple-glazed carrots as part of your plant-based Thanksgiving feast, or alongside a hearty casserole when the weather starts to get chilly. You’ll love how quickly this comes together and how little cleanup there is at the end!
