For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the ginger for a subtle kick. Freshly grated ginger can be used in place of ground ginger. Use about 1 tablespoon of grated ginger for a more intense flavor. Ensure the carrots are well-drained after simmering to achieve the best glaze. These Candied Ginger Carrots pair wonderfully with roasted chicken, pork, or as a vibrant addition to a vegetarian meal.
