Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, select fresh, tender carrots. Look for carrots that are smooth and free of blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the carrots are different sizes, cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the carrots and apples plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots and apples will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Cook the carrots and apples over medium heat: This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the carrots and apples occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add the glaze towards the end of cooking: This will help the glaze adhere to the carrots and apples and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Glazed carrots and apples are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still warm and tender.
