Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender carrots: Look for carrots that are firm, smooth, and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are wilted, cracked, or have blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure to give them enough space so that they can caramelize properly. If the pan is too crowded, the carrots will steam instead of roast.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender-crisp: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. You can check the carrots for doneness by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Make the vanilla glaze while the carrots are roasting: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop its flavor.
  • Toss the carrots in the glaze: Once the carrots are roasted, toss them in the vanilla glaze. This will help the glaze coat the carrots evenly.
  • Serve the carrots warm: Vanilla glazed carrots are best served warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Vanilla 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. The sweet and savory flavors of the glaze complement the natural sweetness of the carrots, and the carrots' vibrant color makes them a beautiful addition to any plate.
