Ingredients
1 pound small carrots with tops
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 clove garlic minced
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the carrots. Place them on a baking sheet. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Roast the carrots at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
To make the glaze, mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
Remove the carrots from the oven and brush the glaze onto both sides of the carrots. Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramalized.
As a garnish, sprinkle the carrots with flake salt and red pepper flakes if desired.
