Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For the best results, select fresh, young carrots that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Peel and trim the carrots: Before cooking, be sure to peel and trim the carrots to remove any blemishes or woody ends.
- Use a large skillet: When cooking the carrots, use a large skillet so that they have plenty of room to spread out and brown evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When adding the carrots to the skillet, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the carrots over medium heat: When cooking the carrots, be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they have time to caramelize and develop flavor.
- Stir the carrots frequently: Be sure to stir the carrots frequently while they are cooking so that they cook evenly.
- Make the maple glaze: While the carrots are cooking, make the maple glaze by combining maple syrup, butter, and spices in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has thickened.
- Glaze the carrots: Once the carrots are cooked, add the maple glaze to the skillet and stir to coat the carrots.
- Serve the carrots: Serve the maple-glazed carrots immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
