Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh, organic carrots when I can find them—they taste so much sweeter and have a lovely crunch. You can also experiment with different types of miso; I find that white miso gives a milder flavor, while yellow adds a bit more depth. If you’re not a fan of garlic, feel free to leave it out, but I think it adds a lovely warmth to the dish.
Tips & Notes
- •I always keep some extra miso paste in the fridge; it lasts for ages and is great for quick dressings and marinades.
- •If you want to spice things up, a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I like to add a splash of soy sauce to the glaze for an extra umami punch.
- •You could also toss in some chopped kale or spinach during the last few minutes of roasting for added greens.
Storage & Freezing
These glazed carrots are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
