Carrots with Maple and Cider Vinegar
In this recipe, we cook sliced carrots in a scant amount of well-seasoned water into which a little butter has been melted. Once the carrots are just tender, we uncover the pan and allow the water to reduce over high heat, concentrating the seasonings. The butter that’s left after the water evaporates clings to the slices, adding richness and flavor.

Tip
Don't cut the carrots unevenly. The more uniform the pieces, the more evenly they cook. And don't use a narrow pot, which can cause uneven cooking because the pieces will be piled too densely. The wide diameter of a Dutch oven (10 to 10½ inches is a good size) allows the pieces to fit comfortably, with most pieces at least partially submerged in liquid.

Parsnips, Too!
All of these Jose Andres recipes are bangers. This one's lowest for me, but that's more about late summer ODing on carrots. Turns out, it also works pretty well with a surfeit of CSA parsnips, or at least a mixture of the two.
