Time 20m

Yield 6 1 1/3 cup servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (16 ounce) bag white pearl onions, frozen
1 1/4 cups water
1 (16 ounce) bag baby carrots
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, just until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 3/4 cup of the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates, 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the carrots, sugar and thyme; reduce the heat and cook until the onions are golden, about 6 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, salt and pepper; cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
  • If making ahead, let cool; freeze in an airtight container up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cook in a skillet with 1/3 cup water until hot and the water evaporates.
