Notes
Pro Tips:
Cut carrots into uniform batons so they cook evenly and glaze beautifully. Use a combination of butter and brown sugar for rich flavor, and add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the natural sweetness. Don't stir too much while glazingâlet them sit in the pan long enough to develop a caramelized exterior. Storage & Meal Prep:
Glazed carrots can be made a few hours ahead and reheated gently on the stovetop. They keep refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat over low heat with an extra splash of butter to refresh the glaze.
