Serves: 5-6 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 2½ lbs. carrots, peeled and cut on a diagonal
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. bourbon
  • 4 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp. water
Instructions
  1. Set your instant pot to sauté and melt butter. Add bourbon and cook for a few minutes to cook off the alcohol. Turn off the heat. Add maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the carrots to the instant pot and toss to combine. Set to high pressure for one minute.
  3. For very tender carrots, cook at high pressure for one minute then immediately release the pressure and remove the lid once pressure is released. For carrots that still have a bit of a bite, release the pressure once the instant pot comes to pressure BEFORE the one minute of cooking time begins. Either way, the carrots will be delicious, it just depends on what texture you like your carrots!
  4. Use a slotted spoon to remove the carrots from the instant pot and set in a serving dish. Whisk together cornstarch in water in a small bowl and add to instant pot. Set to "sauté" and cook until sauce is thickened. This will only take a few minutes. Then drizzle sauce over carrots.
  5. Enjoy!
