Often relegated to the confines of a crudité platter or considered a mere component in everyday recipes like soffritto (mirepoix), carrots are rarely given the opportunity to shine on their own. But what a missed opportunity that is! Those root vegetables, loved by children and adults alike, have the potential to take center stage as a healthy yet delicious side dish.
Whether you're in search of a vegetarian addition to your Holiday table or a quick and easy weeknight dinner option, our glazed carrots recipe elevates the natural sweetness of this humble vegetable with just a handful of everyday pantry staples.
