Tips:
- Freshness is Key: Use fresh carrots for the best flavor and texture. Look for carrots with vibrant orange color and firm texture.
- Customize Flavors: Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey used in the glaze. You can also add a pinch of salt or a dash of cayenne pepper for a flavor kick.
- Garnish Creatively: Experiment with different garnishes like chopped nuts, toasted sesame seeds, or a drizzle of balsamic reduction to enhance visual appeal and taste.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the orange-ginger glaze in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat before tossing with warm carrots.
