  • Roast the carrots for 25 to 35 minutes, depending on their size and how tender you like them, until fork-tender and lightly browned.
    • Check them early if you like them tender-crisp, or roast longer for softer carrots.
  • Meanwhile, combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Stir and set aside.

  • Transfer the hot carrots to the butter and brown sugar mixture and toss gently to coat with the glaze. Serve immediately.
    • Toss with the glaze while the carrots are still hot, so it coats them evenly.
