GLAZED CARROTS AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
I made this recipe for my mother's birthday over 20 years ago. Everyone loved the Brussels sprouts! Then I lost the recipe. Recently as I was going through my mother's recipe cards, I found the copy I made for her. I had forgotten what an attractive dish this is. It is as good as I remember and best of all, it still gets rave reviews!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm vegetables: Look for sprouts that are bright green and tightly packed, and carrots that are smooth and free of blemishes.
- Trim and clean the vegetables thoroughly: Remove any tough outer leaves from the sprouts and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots into bite-sized pieces.
- Use a large skillet or roasting pan: This will ensure that the vegetables have plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the vegetables and give them a delicious browned exterior.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings before roasting: This will help to coat the vegetables and prevent them from drying out.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender and slightly browned: The exact cooking time will vary depending on the size and type of vegetables you are using.
- Make the glaze while the vegetables are roasting: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop its flavor.
- Toss the vegetables with the glaze as soon as they come out of the oven: This will help to coat the vegetables evenly and give them a glossy sheen.
- Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Glazed sprouts and carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the stovetop. The glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the vegetables, and the combination of sprouts and carrots makes for a colorful and nutritious dish.
