Steps:
- Quarter carrots lengthwise, then cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté carrots, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add brown sugar, stirring until sugar is melted. Stir in water, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne and simmer, covered, until carrots are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, 8 to 10 minutes.
Tips:
- For a crispier carrot strip, bake them for a longer time, or until they reach your desired crispiness.
- If you want to add more flavor to the carrot strips, you can sprinkle them with additional spices, such as cumin, paprika, or garlic powder.
- You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the carrot strips for a sweet and savory flavor.
- If you are using a convection oven, you may need to reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet with carrot strips, or they will not cook evenly.
