Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are similar in size so they cook evenly. Fresh, young carrots with their greens still attached are ideal.
  • Prep the carrots properly: Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure they are in a single layer in the pan. Overcrowding will prevent them from getting crispy.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Glaze the carrots with a flavorful mixture: The glaze is what gives the carrots their sweet and savory flavor. Be sure to use a mixture that you enjoy.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Glazed carrots are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
