Pomegranate Glazed Carrots - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup pomegranate juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch diagonal slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

Preparation

Place juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for 15 minutes or until juice is reduced to 1/4 cup; stir in honey. (Mixture may be prepared several days ahead and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator.)
While glaze is cooking, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place carrots, oil, salt, and pepper on a small baking sheet; stir well to coat. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drizzle glaze over carrots and stir to coat. Bake for 10 minutes more, stirring once or twice.
Stir in walnuts and cranberries and cook for 5 minutes more or until carrots are nicely glazed. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with thyme. Recipe may be doubled.
