    Caramelised Brown Sugar Carrots

    There are so many different ways to make roast carrots and I have a few different recipes coming soon. 

    In this recipe though, you get caramelised edges and a sweet caramel sauce!

    The carrots are cooked in light brown sugar and butter and are tender and oh so more-ish.

    They are ideal as a holiday side - Christmas/Easter/Thanksgiving. They are so quick easy to make too making them perfect for busy times when you are attempting to juggle multiple dishes in one day.

    I have made this recipe with baby carrots, rainbow carrots  and Chantelle carrots and it works well for all types of carrots.

    I always keep carrots in in my fridge.

    They’re cheap, keep without spoiling for weeks and can be used in ample recipes! 

    Oven roasting carrots not only intensifies their natural sweetness giving you the best flavoured carrots ever!

    Tips and Variations

    Add flavourings of your choice

    Good flavourings include Smoked Paprika, Ginger, Caraway Seeds, Orange Zest, Chilli Flakes.

    Oil and Butter

    Cooking Carrots in butter at a high temperature, means it can burn. The oil stops it from burning so don’t omit that especially if you choose to use honey instead of sugar instead! 

    How to make on the Stovetop

    You have 2 options here. You can add 400ml Stock to the other ingredients (minus the oil) and poach the carrots on the stove for 30 minutes or you can cook in a pan over medium heat for 6 - 7 minutes.

    Carrot Type

    Use your favourite variety. The recipe works well with all carrot varieties.

    Carrot Size

    Try and cut your Carrots into uniformly sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.

    Sugar

    You can adjust the sugar quantities and also use a different variety of sugar like caster/dark brown or granulated. You can also use liquid seetnwes like honey or maple syrup.

    Can they be made ahead of time?

    Yes they keep well in the fridge in a container with a lid for up to 3 days. 

    You can also just prep the Carrots (Peel and Chop) up to 3 days ahead of time.
