Notes
HOW TO MAKE GLAZED CARROTS A DAY AHEAD?
- Allow carrots to cool completely. Transfer the cooled carrots to an airtight container and cover with a lid.
- The carrots will store well for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- TO REHEAT, add just a bit of butter to a pan and reheat over medium-low until the carrots are heated through and just beginning to brown.
