Glazed carrots are a simple yet flavorful dish made by simmering tender carrots in a buttery, sweet glaze, often crafted with brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup, and occasionally enhanced with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. This dish is commonly found in Western cuisine, especially as a popular side for holiday meals or comforting family dinners. Carrots are packed with beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which supports healthy vision, skin, and immunity. They also provide fiber and essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin K. While the glaze adds irresistibly rich flavor, it can be high in sugar and butter, so moderation is key. For a lighter twist, the sweetness of the carrots can shine with reduced added sugar or by substituting with natural sweeteners. Glazed carrots are a delicious way to enjoy a vegetable-packed side with a touch of indulgence.
