Place the baby carrots in a 10 inch sauté pan. Add the water, sugar and salt. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium high and continue to simmer vigorously until the liquid has thickened to a syrup and the carrots are fork tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the carrots to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl mix together the walnuts, parsley, thyme, lemon zest and salt. Gently toss the carrots to coat them in the thickened syrup. Spoon them on a platter and sprinkle with half of the gremolata. Serve the remaining gremolata on the side.
