Glazed Carrots

Glazed Carrots

EverydayCookedSweetened

Glazed carrots are a cooked vegetable dish featuring carrots caramelized in a sweetened sauce, typically made with butter and sugar or honey. This preparation softens the carrots’ texture while creating a glossy coating that balances their natural earthiness with rich sweetness. Though carrots retain their high beta-carotene content (a vitamin A precursor), the added sugars significantly increase the dish’s carbohydrate density compared to raw or steamed preparations.
