What carrots can you use in Balsamic Glazed Carrots recipe

You can use whichever type of carrot that you have on hand for this recipe. Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the carrots. I wrote this recipe with full sized orange carrots in mind. I'd advise against using parsnips or purple carrots if you want the exact same results as my written recipe, but I'm sure using those vegetables will be tasty as well!

How to prepare the carrots

The trick with roasting anything is that you want equal sized pieces to ensure an even cook. The last thing you'd want is brunt small pieces and raw large pieces. For this recipe I sliced my carrots in half, but otherwise left them whole. If you decided to slice into coins the recipe will still work, though you may need to adjust your cook time as smaller pieces will cook faster.

can you prepare this dish ahead of time?

This dish can be prepared ahead of time, especially if you have a lot of cooking to do! You can peel and slice the carrots in advance and store in the fridge. You can cook the dish in advance and reheat later, however as with any roasted veggies, reheating them will make them lose any crispiness.
