  4. Add Carrots:

    • Once the glaze has thickened to your desired consistency, add the steamed carrots to the sauce. Gently toss them in the glaze until they are evenly coated.
  5. Serve:

    • Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving dish and serve hot. These carrots make a delicious and colorful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and wholesome goodness of these glazed carrots!
