Umami Glazed Roast Carrots
Ingredients
- 1½ tablespoons agave syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

- Toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer the coated carrots to a 7-inch round cake pan insert, metal cake pan, or foil pan.

- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the carrots before serving
