Steps:
- Boil carrots in boiling water, covered, until almost done, they should be slightly firm.
- In the meantime, combine honey, water and brown sugar in a saucepan.
- Bring to boil and reduce by half until thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes.
- Drain carrots, add butter, mix until melted.
- Add honey mix and cinnamon; stir gently and cook on low for about 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best results, use fresh, young carrots that are about the same size so they cook evenly. If you're using baby carrots, you can leave them whole, but if you're using larger carrots, you should peel and cut them into uniform pieces.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the carrots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will steam instead of roast and won't get as caramelized.
- Roast the carrots until they're tender and slightly browned: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the carrots, but they should be tender when pierced with a fork. You'll know they're done when they're slightly browned and starting to caramelize.
- Make the glaze while the carrots are roasting: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop its flavor. You can make the glaze in a saucepan on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- Glaze the carrots before serving: Once the carrots are roasted and the glaze is made, toss the carrots in the glaze until they're evenly coated. Serve the carrots immediately while they're still warm.
Conclusion:
Honey-glazed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed all year long. They're perfect for roasted dinners, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and impressive dish that everyone will love.
