  1. That glaze looks absolutely delicious!! Thanks for sharing. I think I have sort of put glazes out of my mind as an option because they seem to always contain sugar. Way to think outside the box!

    I'm going to try this!

  2. ;) yah, maple syrup is really just a sugar but it's not terribly processed so we will use it. in glazing as in baking, you need sugars in order to get the crispness. I think it's fine as an occasional treat. I like that the carrots are glazed in orange juice rather than sugar :)
