To use, simply prepare your carrots as desired, whether by steaming, boiling, roasting, or sautéing. Once the carrots are tender, add the contents of the pouch directly to the pan or serving dish. Stir gently to coat the carrots evenly with the glaze. Continue to cook for a minute or two, allowing the glaze to warm through and adhere to the vegetables. This process helps to create a glossy finish and infuse the carrots with its sweet and savory notes, making them more appealing.
