Glazed Maple Soy Carrots

Gorgeously sweet, salty and spicy carrots the maple and soy give these carrots such a unique flavour profile and add a subtle stickiness. This is great a side dish to any dinner and is so quick and easy to make.

I love cutting the carrots lengthwise and then cutting along diagonal creating bite-sized pieces, that have personalty and hold the flavours so much better this way. The addition of chilli flakes really adds to the dish and gives a lovely background spiciness.
