Notes

What other ingredients can be added to these roasted carrots?
 
Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the carrots before baking.
Add a 1 to 2 tsp of a mustard of your choice to give the carrots a bit more tang.
Spice them up by adding a hot sauce of your choice to the sauce before tossing with the carrots.
You can also eliminate the onion powder and minced garlic.
Drizzle a little lemon or lime juice into the sauce before glazing the carrots.
Try different spices each time you make these roasted carrots, such as thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, dill, basil or sage.
