Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and bright color. Avoid carrots with blemishes or bruises.
- Trim the carrots: Trim the ends of the carrots and peel them if desired. Cut the carrots into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the carrots to cook evenly without overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the carrots from cooking evenly and will result in mushy carrots.
- Cook the carrots over medium-high heat: Medium-high heat will help the carrots to caramelize and develop flavor.
- Stir the carrots frequently: Stirring the carrots frequently will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Don't overcook the carrots: Overcooked carrots will be mushy and bland. Cook the carrots until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, and spices. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Glaze the carrots: Pour the glaze over the cooked carrots and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the carrots are heated through.
- Serve the carrots: Serve the carrots immediately as a side dish or appetizer.

Maple glazed carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and savory flavor, these carrots are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a simple but elegant side dish, give maple glazed carrots a try!
