Tips

  • For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon or two of honey or maple syrup to the glaze mixture.
  • If you don't have vanilla extract, you can use almond extract or orange zest instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the carrots, as they will become mushy. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • This dish can be served as a side dish or as a vegetarian main course.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or chives before serving for an extra pop of flavor and color.
