A delightful side dish featuring tender carrots and leeks glazed with a honey-thyme sauce.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown; keep the heat moderate.
Stir in the honey, thyme, salt, and pepper until combined.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the carrots, leeks, and water to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
Uncover the skillet and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and glazed.
Let the liquid reduce to create a shiny glaze.
Serve the glazed vegetables warm as a side dish.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme for presentation.
