Helpful Tips and Variations
- Use baby carrots. Save time on peeling and chopping by using baby carrots. They may need additional time to cook.
- Don't overcook. You want the carrots tender not mushy.
- Make them less sweet. Reduce the brown sugar or honey if you prefer a lighter glaze.
- Try maple syrup. Swap the honey for maple syrup for a different flavor.
- Add fresh herbs. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color.
