For an even richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. A pinch of nutmeg adds a warm, complementary note to the cinnamon. Ensure the foil is tightly sealed to create steam and help the carrots cook evenly. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of sugar by a tablespoon or two. Freshly grated ginger (1/2 teaspoon) can add a spicy note. These carrots are best served warm.

Nov 27, 2024I found that 1 hour and 15 mins was sufficient time to cook the carrots in my oven, so keep an eye on them after the first hour.
