Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby carrots
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the baby carrots in the prepared dish. Sprinkle evenly with salt, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, and brown sugar. Toss gently to coat the carrots.
- Drizzle the maple syrup over the carrots and stir to ensure they are evenly coated. Scatter the cubed butter on top.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender and lightly caramelized.
- For a thicker glaze, remove the carrots from the oven and transfer the pan liquid to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the glaze is syrupy. Pour the glaze back over the roasted carrots before serving.
