Maple syrup gives this deep warm sweetness with a little woodsy flavor that makes the whole kitchen smell amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Butter ties everything together and gives the glaze that silky melt in your mouth finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I always use unsalted so I can control the salt, but if you only have salted butter, use it, I am not judging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-how-i-make-them-\"><strong>How I Make Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First thing, I peel the carrots and slice them into little coins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f721842f-274f-422e-8363-fda29d666a46_resultat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1332\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f721842f-274f-422e-8363-fda29d666a46_resultat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f721842f-274f-422e-8363-fda29d666a46_resultat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f721842f-274f-422e-8363-fda29d666a46_resultat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/f721842f-274f-422e-8363-fda29d666a46_resultat.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes I cut them on a diagonal if I am trying to make them look like I put actual effort in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I try to keep the pieces the same size so they cook evenly, because nobody wants half mushy half crunchy carrots in their mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I grab a big skillet and pour in about an inch of water, crank the heat to medium high, and toss in the carrots once it starts bubbling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I let them simmer for around 8 to 10 minutes. I poke one with a fork to test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it goes in easy but still has a slight bite, that is perfect. Then I drain the water out and shake the skillet a little so they dry off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I drop the butter in the pan and let it melt, then pour in the maple syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/c551b500-7e98-4b43-8bcb-679b5d5edf40_resultat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1330\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/c551b500-7e98-4b43-8bcb-679b5d5edf40_resultat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/c551b500-7e98-4b43-8bcb-679b5d5edf40_resultat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/c551b500-7e98-4b43-8bcb-679b5d5edf40_resultat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/c551b500-7e98-4b43-8bcb-679b5d5edf40_resultat.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as those two mix together, the smell hits me and I swear I could drink it straight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I add the carrots back in and toss them around gently so every piece gets glazed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/e6acfbdd-7ebb-4f1c-a1f7-67204e6fd34d_resultat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1331\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/e6acfbdd-7ebb-4f1c-a1f7-67204e6fd34d_resultat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/e6acfbdd-7ebb-4f1c-a1f7-67204e6fd34d_resultat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/e6acfbdd-7ebb-4f1c-a1f7-67204e6fd34d_resultat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.savoryscroll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/e6acfbdd-7ebb-4f1c-a1f7-67204e6fd34d_resultat.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I keep cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes until the glaze thickens and clings to the carrots.
