For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the glaze. Simply melt the butter in the saucepan and cook until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the honey, vanilla, and vinegar. A pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the glaze for a warm, spiced variation. If you don't have baby carrots, you can use regular carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices or batons. The carrots can be steamed ahead of time and reheated gently before glazing. Be careful not to overcook them. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for an elegant presentation.
