Ingredients
  

1 lb baby carrots, peeled

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare Carrots: Rinse the baby carrots under cold water and peel them if needed.

    Cook Carrots: In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil and add the carrots. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.

      Make the Glaze: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine, creating a cohesive glaze.

        Glaze the Carrots: Add the partially cooked carrots to the skillet. Stir to coat them thoroughly in the glaze mixture. Roast for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and caramelized.

          Season: Add salt and pepper to taste as the carrots finish cooking.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
