• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 6 1 1/3 cup servings
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 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

directions

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
