Tips:
- Select the Right Carrots: Choose fresh, tender carrots with vibrant color. Avoid limp or blemished ones.
- Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple chunks or slices add a burst of tropical flavor. Canned pineapple can also be used, but fresh is preferred.
- Balance the Sweet and Savory: The glaze combines sweet pineapple, honey, and savory dijon mustard. Adjust the amounts to suit your taste preferences.
- Don't Overcook the Carrots: Cook the carrots until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Add Some Crunch: For a textural contrast, consider adding roasted nuts, such as slivered almonds or chopped walnuts, to the glazed carrots.
