For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular butter in the glaze. If you don't have fresh orange juice, you can use a high-quality bottled juice, but fresh is always best. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a hint of spice. These glazed carrots can be prepared ahead of time. Simply bake them until just tender, then cool and refrigerate. Reheat in the oven before serving, adding a splash of orange juice if the glaze has thickened too much.
