What are glazed carrots?

Glazed carrots are carrots cooked and coated with a sweet and savory glaze, to enhance their natural sweetness and flavor. We make our glaze with brown sugar and balsamic vinegar.

What type of carrots are best for making glazed carrots?

We like tricolored carrots fresh from the market because they make a great presentation. However, baby carrots or slender varieties like Chantenay or Nantes work well.

How long does it take to roast carrots?

We recommend roasting carrots for 30 to 45 minutes in the oven at 350°F (until soft). This will achieve the candied, caramelized texture and flavor.

Can I make Glazed Carrots ahead of time?

Yes! Make them up to 2 days ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat them in a sauté pan with a little oil before you are ready to serve.

Are Glazed Carrots suitable for special diets, like vegan or gluten-free?

This Glazed Carrots recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free because it is made with plant-based ingredients. Be sure to check the ingredients in any store-bought glazes for gluten-containing additives.
