Cracker Barrel's baby carrots are a popular side dish, known for their sweet and tender flavor. If you're looking to recreate this classic dish at home, there are a few key ingredients and techniques you'll need to master. The first step is to choose the right type of carrot. Baby carrots are typically smaller and sweeter than regular carrots, so they're the ideal choice for this recipe. Once you have your carrots, you'll need to peel and trim them. Then, you'll boil them in a mixture of water, sugar, and butter until they're tender. Finally, you'll add some spices and herbs to the carrots and let them simmer until they're coated in a delicious glaze.

Tips:
- For a healthier version, opt for low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth. - Add a teaspoon of honey or brown sugar to the glaze for a sweeter flavor. - For a more savory glaze, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce. - If you don't have a baking sheet, you can roast the carrots in a single layer in a roasting pan. - Watch the carrots closely while they are roasting to prevent them from burning. - Serve the carrots immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.Conclusion:
