Instructions

In a large bowl whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Notes

Make sure the carrots are dry before adding to the butter mixture. If they are wet the glaze won’t adhere to the carrots and they won’t be as crispy.
You can use regular or rainbow carrots with this recipe. Just cut them in half, into coins or chunks and adjust the cooking time based on the size of the carrots.
Oven directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. Prep carrots as directed and place on the prepared sheet pan. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until carrots are tender.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes.
