For a deeper flavor, consider using dark brown sugar. Its molasses notes add complexity. A pinch of cayenne pepper can introduce a subtle warmth that balances the sweetness. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added during the last minute of cooking for an aromatic twist. If the glaze becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water to loosen it. Leftover candied carrots can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
