Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Trim the green tops off the carrots, leaving about 1 inch.  In a bowl, combine all ingredients to create the glaze.  Toss the carrots in the prepared glaze until evenly coated.

Place the glazed carrots on a foil-lined cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the carrots.  Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the carrots are fork tender.  Taste for salt and pepper - adjust as needed.

Remove the carrots from the oven and transfer them to a serving tray.  Optionally, top with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Roasted glazed carrots have a natural sweetness enchanced by the glaze.  

These glazed carrots possess a natural sweetness that is enhanced by the glaze.  Roasting the carrots also brings out earthy and smoky notes.  Wines that balance this sweetness with sufficient acidity to cleanse the palate and complement the flavors.  Our Reserved Chardonnay and The Winemaker Remembrance Reserve Superior Barbara would both pair nicely with this dish.
