Tips for Making the Best Glazed Carrots with Peas:

- Choose tender and fresh carrots that are about the same size so that they cook evenly. - Do not overcook the carrots; they should still have a bit of a bite to them. - To get a nice glaze, make sure to coat the carrots and peas in the butter and sugar mixture before roasting them. - If you don't have brown sugar, you can use a combination of granulated sugar and molasses. - For a more savory glaze, add a bit of Dijon mustard or balsamic vinegar to the butter and sugar mixture. - If you are using frozen peas, thaw them before adding them to the recipe. - Garnish the glazed carrots and peas with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color.

This simple yet flavorful recipe for glazed carrots with peas is a perfect side dish for any occasion. The carrots are tender and slightly sweet, while the peas add a pop of color and freshness.
