Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes. Avoid carrots that are limp, have cracks, or are starting to wilt.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Use a large skillet or sauté pan: This will give the carrots plenty of room to brown and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the carrots over medium-high heat: This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the carrots frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Add the glaze ingredients: Once the carrots are browned, add the glaze ingredients and stir to coat.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Glazed spiced carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed year-round. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The carrots are tender and flavorful, with a slightly sweet and spicy glaze. They are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
