Glazed Carrots

Glazed carrots are a sweet and tender side dish made by simmering sliced carrots in a mixture of butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and chicken stock until they are cooked through and coated in a glossy, caramelized glaze. The result is a delightfully soft texture with a balance of natural carrot flavor and added sweetness from the glaze ingredients.

The sweet and buttery flavors of the glazed carrots, enhanced by the brown sugar and maple syrup, pair well with a white wine like Moscatel de Alejandría. This grape variety is known for its sweet, floral, and fruity notes, which complement the dish's sweetness. Alternatively, a light-bodied red wine like Sangiovese, with its bright acidity and red fruit flavors, can balance the richness of the butter and provide a refreshing contrast to the carrots' natural sweetness.
