Notes
Baby carrots: Skip the peeling and slicing by using baby carrots. Halve any large ones and give them a few extra minutes to soften.
Thicker glaze: Want it more syrupy? Whisk in a little extra cornstarch.
Make ahead: Let cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
