Brown Sugar Roasted Carrots
Brown Sugar Roasted Carrots feature sliced carrots coated in a sweet and savory glaze of olive oil, melted butter, pure maple syrup or honey, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Roasting caramelizes the glaze and tenderizes the carrots, creating a rich, slightly sweet side dish with warm spices. Chopped parsley adds a fresh finish.
