This is a simple recipe for vegan glazed baby carrots can be made under 30 minutes. Use Maple syrup for the glazing. It is the perfect side dish to any meal
When it comes to a Thanksgiving sides, nothing compares to the glazed baby carrots. Sure, people either roast them, stir fry carrots, steam them or even eat them raw.
However, nothing brings out their juiciness quite like glazing them using vegan butter. Glazed baby carrots, when flavored perfectly, will to go with any meal.
The traditional recipe for glazed carrots always calls for brown sugar. I decided to deviate a little from that tradition. Instead of brown sugar, I went with maple syrup and it turned out even better than I imagined. It gave the roasted carrots a slight sweetness without overpowering the carrots.
Also, the carrots were a little soft and a little crunchy which is exactly the way I like it. This is a hard combination to achieve when cooking carrots because they get too soft or they turn out to be raw. Going with vegan butter instead of oil is a huge reason why these glazed baby carrots are perfect.
These glazed baby carrots is in my hall of fame for tasty recipes. Next, I want to try it in a carrot salad with spinach or other greens.

I love the idea of roasting them – I usually just cook them in butter and maple syrup and that’s it – what a nice flavor!

It might be a Caribbean thing…LOL…I do not like carrots either and it is very rarely in my fridge…
Thank you, Mardene. Carrots can be difficult to accept. I know that I only started liking them after seeing Bugs Bunny eat them. Also, I started eating spinach only after seeing Popeye. Haha. I guess my food habits have been influenced by cartoon characters.
Wow this sounds so yummy and easy to make! Our kids love carrots too.
