Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and brightly colored, with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid carrots that are limp or have a woody texture.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more attractive on the plate.
- Use a large skillet or roasting pan: This will give the carrots plenty of room to cook without crowding, which will help them caramelize and brown properly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of carrots, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the carrots instead of roasting them.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and brown quickly, giving them a delicious flavor and texture.
- Add the glaze towards the end of cooking: This will prevent the glaze from burning and will help it adhere to the carrots.
- Serve immediately: Roasted carrots are best served hot and crispy, so don't let them sit around for too long before serving.
