Oh man, I love these carrots! I honestly eat them like candy. I love being able to make dinner on a summer night without heating up my whole house.
While I am grilling the carrots, I like to continually brush the maple glaze over the carrots. The flavor of the caramelized glaze on the grilled carrots is so incredible!
I am going to just stop talking and let you get on with making this fabulous recipe.
With love from my kitchen to yours,
