- 1 tablespoon grade A maple syrup
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or to your preference

Instructions
- Peel the carrots and chop off the top as well as the tip.
- Cut the carrots however you like. I prefer to cut on a bias.
- Boil the carrots in a pan in with about 1 cup of water. Sprinkle with salt. Cook on a medium high heat for about 20 minutes or until the carrots soften.
- Most of the water should be cooked out now but you still want some. Add in the vegan butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup, and thyme.
