  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Cook the carrots in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality glaze: The glaze is what makes these carrots so flavorful, so be sure to use a good quality one. You can use a store-bought glaze or make your own.
  • Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, add a nice finishing touch to these carrots.
