Miso Glazed Carrots
These Miso Carrots are a simple way to turn an everyday vegetable into something memorable. Carrot sticks roast at high heat with olive oil, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper until their edges start to caramelize and their centers soften. The glaze adds a layer of savory richness that clings beautifully to the roasted carrots. As it bakes, the miso deepens in flavor, balancing the carrots’ natural sweetness.
The toppings elevate everything. Chopped cilantro adds brightness, black sesame a gentle crunch and nuttiness, and saffron lends a warm earthiness.
