01 -

This recipe transforms ordinary carrots into something that feels restaurant fancy with just five minutes of active work
The glaze technique works on any root vegetable, making it a secret weapon in your weeknight rotation

02 -

The glaze can go from perfect to burned in seconds once the water evaporates, so keep your eyes on the pan during the last few minutes
Thinner slices will cook faster and may become mushy, so try to keep your carrots cut to the same size

03 -

Dont crowd the pan or the carrots will steam instead of glaze properly
If your glaze is too thick, add water one teaspoon at a time until it loosens up
