Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Wash the Dutch carrots and trim the green tops, leaving a little stem if you like. Slice any larger carrots in half lengthways so they cook evenly.

- Add the carrots to the bowl and toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer the carrots to a baking dish and pour over any remaining glaze.

- Serve warm, spooning over the glaze from the baking dish.
