Gochujang Glazed Carrots
These Gochujang Glazed Carrots are my new favorite way to prepare carrots. If you like food with a little kick, give this recipe a try!
I’ve been dying to make something with some of the Gochujang I recently bought. This Gochujang Glazed Carrots recipe takes care of that problem.
What is Gochujang
Gochujang is a Korean fermented red pepper paste that can be used as a condiment, as a marinade, as a dipping sauce, or even as a glaze for carrots like this recipe!
I recently went to Trader Joe’s to see what I could find to make more delicious recipes and bought these multi-colored carrots. Perfect to glaze with a little Gochujang!
Just to be clear, the gochujang glaze on these carrots packs a little punch. Not over the top but you will notice it. If you are looking to Zhuzh up your carrots (i.e. take it up a notch), this recipe might be for you!
