These glazed carrots go great with meat dishes, particularly when celebrating a special occasion. I like to serve them for Thanksgiving or for the holidays as a nice side to go along with the turkey. They are the perfect complement to the main dish. If you like spicy dishes, then add a touch more of chili powder. I like it with just the amount listed in the recipe but don’t be afraid to add more, if that’s your taste.
