O this sounds delicious! I’m usually so boring with my carrots – olive oil, salt, pepper, definitely switching it up this time, I’ve never done molasses before

I’ve been meaning to do a brown sugar glazed carrot! It just so happens I have molasses and I’m needing to pick up more coconut sugar, so this recipe is bound to happen soon! Love the recipe and the carrots look like they came out great!
