Maple Chile Glazed Carrots are a simple, yet delicious veggie side dish. Carrots are cooked with maple syrup, onions, butter, and spices.
Peel carrots and trim ends. Cut carrots into round slices, about ½" thick; set aside.
Melt butter on Medium-High in a medium skillet. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until onions become tender and translucent in color (3-4 minutes). Stir in carrots, maple syrup, water, chile powder, salt, & cinnamon until combined.
Bring liquid to a low simmer, then PARTIALLY cover the skillet. Let carrots cook on a low simmer (partially covered) for 5-6 minutes, or until crisp-tender in texture.
Remove cover from skillet. Continue simmering carrots (uncovered) for 4 minutes on a low simmer, stirring occasionally. When done, liquid should be reduced in volume and slightly thickened. Glaze on carrots should be glossy/shiny looking, and carrots tender. Remove skillet from heat source.
Transfer carrots to serving bowl. Garnish with a few fresh thyme leaves and a tiny bit of freshly grated nutmeg. Serve hot, and enjoy!
