I love glazed carrots. I love having several different glazed carrot recipes to choose from. All of these are great! My family loves them all. Well, with the exception of my teenage son and the Basil Glazed Carrots. He said they are too green. lol
I use baby carrots because they are so convenient. If you prefer, you can use one pound of regular carrots that you have peeled and sliced.
Now for the recipes!
