For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular melted butter. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful hint of spice to the glaze. Feel free to substitute honey or maple syrup for the brown sugar for a different sweetness profile. Ensure the carrots are sliced evenly for uniform cooking. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor.
