Ingredients:

• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• saute pan
• wooden spoon

I start by heating a saute pan over medium heat and crisping up the chopped bacon until it’s nice and golden brown. Once the bacon is cooked, I remove it from the pan and set it aside, leaving the flavorful bacon grease in the pan.

Next, I add the baby carrots to the pan and saute them in the bacon grease until they start to caramelize and develop a bit of char. This takes about 8-10 minutes, and the carrots will be tender but still have a slight bite to them.

Once the carrots are cooked, I return the bacon to the pan and drizzle in the maple syrup. I sprinkle in the chili flakes for a bit of heat, along with a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning. I give everything a good stir to coat the carrots and bacon in the delicious glaze.

I let the carrots simmer in the glaze for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together beautifully. The aroma of sweet maple, smoky bacon, and spicy chili fills the kitchen, letting me know it’s time to plate up this incredible dish!

The total weight of the cooked Spicy Bacon Maple Glazed Carrots is approximately 400g, making about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 100g, with an approximate calorie count of 150 per serving.

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts over the glazed carrots before serving for an added crunch and nutty flavor. It takes this dish to a whole new level of deliciousness!
