This is another great recipe from our friend Gesine Bullock-Prado, author of My Vermont Table. She recommends cooking the carrots sous vide but you can also roast them – preferably beside your Sunday roast chicken. A superb way to integrate the maple flavor into a meal, maple glazed carrots are a great side dish any time of the year.
