Easy Maple Glazed Carrots

What are the best kinds of carrots to use?

I prefer to use large, fresh carrots that I then cut into coin sized pieces. You will want to first peel the carrots and then slice them into a 12 inch button.

You can also use baby carrots (whole) or frozen sliced carrots that have been thawed.

How long do cooked carrots stay good for?

You will want to store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

To reheat them you can warm slowly on the stove top or in the microwave. Add a pat of butter to your leftovers as they warm up. This will help to keep them from drying out and adds a little freshness to the dish.

Easy Maple Glazed CarrotsWhat can you serve with Glazed Carrots?

Glazed Carrots are the perfect dish for any holiday. I think of Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas because it pairs so well with dishes typically served on those occasions.

But they are absolutely perfect for your weekday dinner, too. They would be delicious with baked chicken or a roast. Whatever you choose they are such a great way to add vegetables to your meal.

Can you prepare glazed carrots ahead of time?

You can definitely prep the carrots about a day before you make them. Peel and cut them and store them in an airtight container so they will be ready to make right away.

While you can always reheat your prepared carrots they taste the best made fresh so you should wait to prepare them with the glaze until the day of.
