Maple Miso Glazed Carrots

One vegetable that I love to have on hand is carrots. It’s a great vegetable that can be served raw or cooked. They’re great for snacking, thinly sliced in a salad or tossed in noodles, roasted in the oven (enter maple miso glazed carrots), put into soups… the possibilities are endless! It also keeps well for extended periods of time.

Whenever I buy a big bag of carrots, I extend their shelf life by peeling them all and then cutting them into smaller pieces that can fit into a container. I then fill the containers with water so that the carrots are all covered. I change out the water everyday. This makes my carrots last weeks, if not an entire month!

If I decide to cook my carrots, one of my favorite methods is roasting in the oven. Oven roasting brings out extra sweetness of the carrots. I love to glaze with some maple and miso for some extra sweet and savory flavor.
