Notes

For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the glaze. Ensure carrots are peeled and trimmed uniformly to promote even cooking. Overcrowding the baking dish will steam the carrots instead of roasting them, so use a larger pan if necessary to allow space between them. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives after roasting adds a vibrant finish and herbaceous note.
