Recipe View 1 mins Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors!

For a hint of warmth, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can balance the sweetness.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Consider roasting the carrots instead of boiling for a more intense caramelized flavor.

    I added a dash of cinnamon, as suggested, and it was the perfect complement to the sweetness. Will definitely be making these again!
