No-fuss easy peasy carrots glazed with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. These carrots are sweet, savory, and simply amazing!
Butter. Brown sugar. Cinnamon. Orange zest. And the secret ingredient of all: molasses.
These four key ingredients come together for the most decadent side dish of all, except it’s one of the easiest dishes to whip up.
All you have to do is give these carrots a quick roast while you create that epic glaze so once the carrots come out of the oven, you can throw them right in, swimming in all that glory.
Best of all, these carrots have just enough sweetness to satisfy that sweet tooth.
You can even go the extra mile and fry the carrot tops in melted butter.
After all, you can never have too much butter during the holidays, right?
