- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- Dash of sea salt
Instructions
- Sauté Carrots: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to char.

Notes
- Stir carrots frequently to prevent scorching.

- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- If the glaze thickens too much, add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out.
