How to Make Maple Glazed Brown Sugar Carrots
Preheat oven to 400.
Lay baby carrots out on a sheet pan in a single layer.
In a small bowl, combine butter, sugar and syrup. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds or until melted.
Mix in seasonings and brush all over carrots.
Roast for 15 minutes or until tender.
Enjoy!
Can I Use Regular Carrots
By all means, if you don’t have baby carrots on hand, just peel and slice regular carrots. You will get the same great taste and flavor.
Do I Have to Use Real Maple Syrup
Yes! Imitation syrup that doesn’t have nearly as much flavor as real maple syrup does.
Real maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees, while imitation maple syrup is made from corn starch, water, and artificial flavors.
Not only does real maple syrup taste better, it’s also healthier for you. Imitation syrups are often high in sugar and calories.
