Ingredients

  • 2 pounds carrots 908 g, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter 42 g, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 40 g
  • 6 tablespoons light brown sugar 80 g
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt 5 g
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF/205ºC degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the cut carrots in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the melted butter and oil over the carrots. Then add the brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir well to coat the carrots.
  • Place the carrots in a single layer in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them after 15 minutes. The carrots should be fork tender when cooked.
  • Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • To get more caramelized carrots, spread them on a large baking sheet with space between the carrots. Follow the remaining directions.
  • For a great Asian side dish replace the cinnamon with ground ginger.
  • You can use baby carrots in place of cut carrots.
  • To store: Transfer any leftover brown sugar glazed carrots to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place the carrots in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through. You can also use the microwave.
  • To freeze: You can freeze brown sugar glazed carrots in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat using the instructions above.
