INGREDIENT NOTES:
CARROTS:

BROWN SUGAR:
- Brown sugar is the main element to glaze your carrots. This sugar will give sweetness to your carrots, and these will get a caramelized feeling as well. Coconut sugar is another alternative for this purpose as well.
WATER:
- You will steam the carrot pieces with water, and water will also make a smoother glaze for them. You can use orange juice for this if you need another flavor.
SALT:
- Adding salt will improve the taste of carrots, and it will also eliminate the excess sweet taste in them. Pink salt is another alternative for this ingredient.
BLACK PEPPER:
- A little warmth will come to your carrots from adding it. It can also maintain the sweetness in your carrot recipe. Use white pepper as a substitute idea here as well.
GARLIC POWDER:

CINNAMON:
- This ingredient will make the flavor of your carrots warmer. Use nutmeg as another option for your side dish as well.
