Salty, sweet, and tender, these miso-, tea-, and brown sugar-glazed carrots are a melody of rich flavors that make you savor every bite. It’s also an easy and inexpensive dish that's perfect for a holiday meal or an everyday dinner.
Glazed carrots are impressive enough for guests, yet deceptively simple to make! All you have to do is combine the glaze ingredients and brush over the carrots. Set the oven to 400 °F and roast the carrots for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway. The roasting process brings out the natural sugars in the carrots, and mixed with the salty umami of the miso and tartness of our Lemon Ginger tea, they’re super tasty!
