For a hint of warmth, add a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the glaze. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can balance the sweetness. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Consider roasting the carrots instead of boiling for a more intense caramelized flavor.
