Orange Glazed Carrots

• 2 pounds thin orange and/or purple carrots with greens intact, scrubbed and trimmed
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Bring a 5- to 6-quart pot of salted water to a boil and cook carrots until just tender (6-8 minutes). Drain well.
2. Melt butter in a large (12-inch) heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides. Add carrots and saute 1 minute. Add orange juice, maple syrup, thyme, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Continue to boil, shaking skillet frequently, until liquid is reduced and syrupy, and carrots are tender (5-10 minutes).
