The carrots were a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices to the glaze next time.

These carrots were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time.

I love this recipe! The carrots are always tender and flavorful. I often add a bit of garlic and ginger to the glaze for an extra kick.
