# § #Christmas23 #Christmas24 ==DOUBLING THIS== # Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots One > Roasting brings out the best in carrots, always. And the caramelised edges are the BEST ## Ingredients - 1 kg / 2 lb carrots , peeled (Note 1) - 1/4 cup (40g) brown sugar , loosely packed (Note 2) - 2 garlic cloves , minced - 2 tbsp butter (30g) , melted (or olive oil) - 1 tbsp olive oil - ½ tsp salt - ¼ tsp black pepper - Parsley , for garnish (optional) ## Instructions - Preheat oven to 425F (standard) or 400F (fan). - Cut carrot on the diagonal into 4cm / 1.75” lengths. Halve thicker end so they are all roughly the same width. - Toss in a bowl with sugar, butter, garlic, oil, salt and pepper. Pour onto tray, spread out. - Roast 15 minutes. Toss, then roast a further 10 minutes until soft and caramelised on the edges with plenty of glaze left on the tray. - Toss carrots in the glaze, sprinkle with parsley if using. Serve warm. ## Recipe Notes - Nice holiday touch is to add **1/2 tsp** of cinnamon! For a kick, add cayenne pepper. 1. Carrots - use any type of carrots. Baby, dutch, purple or standard (as I have done) 2. Sugar - Can be substituted with honey or maple syrup, and can reduce down to 1 tbsp.
