Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

What are brown sugar glazed carrots?

Basically, brown sugar glazed carrots are sheet pan caramelized candied carrots that are roasted in the oven.

The sugar is sprinkled over the carrots with butter.

During the roasting process, the carrots get cooked soft and the sugar and butter get caramelized.

Hence the name candied carrots.

The glazed carrots are a popular holiday side dish crowd pleaser.

That’s why candied carrots are also known in some circles as Thanksgiving carrots, Christmas carrots or Easter carrots.

Roasted Glazed Carrot variations

You can prepare different glazed candied carrot variations.

To adjust to a particular diet switch the sugar and butter out.

However, you can also add some flavors to pep up things.

To make Paleo or Keto Low Carb glazed carrots switch out the brown sugar with Palm Sugar, Honey, natural Maple syrup or Date syrup and the instead of the butter you can use Coconut or Olive Oil.

You can add some of the following flavors and ingredients to your glazed candied carrots:

  • Bourbon – classic warm flavors
  • Ginger – for an Asian touch
  • Thyme – to taste out the Mediterranean
  • Gourmet Salts such as Himalayan Pink Salt or Fleur de Sel De Guerande
  • Pecans – adds crunch too
  • Bacon – your guests won’t be able to stop themselves!
  • Dill – To serve with fish or seafood
  • Orange Juice – Interesting with freshly pressed orange juice
  • Lemon Juice – The way I like it
