SUGAR-GLAZED ROASTED CARROTS
This is from Cook's Country, America's Test Kitchen, Feb/March 2006. Don't use baby carrots in this. They won't roast properly. I liked decreasing the sugar about one-third.

BROWN SUGARED CARROTS
I love using carrots with tops, if available. I like to chop some of the tops and sprinkle them over the carrots like parsley. I also have been known to fry the tops and put them over these carrots for garnish and texture. This is my ultimate comfort food. Whenever I was home sick from school, I would make my mother drag out her arsenal of recipes to make me "better" and this is one of them...

Steps:
- In a skillet large enough to hold the carrots, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the carrots and season with salt and black pepper. Using a wooden spoon, stir the carrots to coat with the oil and seasonings.
- After the carrots have cooked for a few minutes, add the brown sugar and molasses and continue to cook, stirring from time to time. Add a little water so they can become tender without burning the sugar. Continue to cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add more water, if needed, but the sauce should be thick enough to coat the carrots and should bubble around the edges of the pan. The carrots should be tender and fairly yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife. Add the butter and the rosemary sprig. Once the butter has melted remove the rosemary sprig and discard. Transfer the carrots to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped carrot tops. Serve immediately or allow to "rest" a little before serving.

OVEN GLAZED CARROTS
These are nice and convenient to make when roasting a chicken or pot roast in the oven. I usually make it with baby carrots but sliced carrots may also be used instead of strips. Seasoning is very simple, which I'll often change depending on the meal.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For best results, select small to medium-sized carrots that are tender and sweet. Avoid large, woody carrots, as they will take longer to cook and may not be as flavorful.
- Prepare the carrots properly: Scrub the carrots well to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the tops and bottoms, then peel the carrots if desired. Cut the carrots into uniform-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good-quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a rich flavor and aroma.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If the carrots are too crowded, they will steam instead of roast and will not be as flavorful.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the carrots, but they should be tender when pierced with a fork. If the carrots are not tender, continue roasting them for a few minutes longer.
- Make the glaze while the carrots are roasting: This will allow the flavors in the glaze to develop. Simply combine the honey, butter, vinegar, and spices in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the glaze simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
- Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are roasted, toss them with the glaze until they are evenly coated. Serve the carrots immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Sugar-glazed roasted carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are roasted until tender and then glazed with a sweet and tangy glaze.
