Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use rainbow baby carrots for a beautiful presentation if you can find them.
  •  Dry the carrots well before tossing to help them roast, not steam.
  •  Do not overcrowd the pan or the carrots will not brown properly.
  •  For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of balsamic vinegar to the glaze.
