Tips
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or cracks. Smaller carrots are more tender and flavorful than larger ones.
- Peel the carrots evenly: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the carrots. Be sure to peel them evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: Cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces or smaller. This will help them cook evenly and make them easier to eat.
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this recipe. They have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the glaze.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Serve the carrots warm: The carrots are best served warm, either immediately after cooking or after reheating them in a warm oven.
