Maple - Bourbon glazed carrots
This dish hardly needs a recipe. Tender carrots, sliced on the diagonal and glazed with maple syrup with a hint of bourbon. Delicious and nearly effortless.

Notes
This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe
This is so simple, you really do not need a recipe.
Maple and bourbon cook down to make a tasty glaze for any vegetable. Try turnips, sweet potato slices, butternut or acorn squash, brussel sprouts, beets or parsnips.
I like a little nutmeg with most vegetables but it is your preference. Nutmeg and cardamom are similar in that a little goes a long way but both offer a depth in flavor.
Think about topping with nuts, Air-fried onions or a little panko. If you use panko, you do not need a lid. Nutrition
