Soy Sauce

Mirin

Brown sugar

Large carrots

Toasted sesame oil

 1) Wash, peel, and cut carrots into 1/2" thick sticks. Trim any ends that get thinner than that.

2) Preheat oven to 325 F. Coat the carrots in olive oil and plan on a baking pan with parchment paper underneath. Roast the carrots in the oven for 35-45 minutes. Check the carrots - they should become soft but with a bit of crunchy chew in the center. They shouldn't be left in the over for so long that they begin to shrink & brown heavily. 

3) As the carrots are nearing the end of their time in the oven, combine mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and brown sugar in a shallow pan. Bring to a low simmer.

4) Add roasted carrots to the pan and let them simmer in the mixture for 2-3 minutes.

5) Transfer carrots & mixture to a heat safe container. Place container in the fridge and eat within 2 days.
