Brown Sugar & Balsamic Roasted Carrots

Hi

I really love these roasted carrots.  Coated with brown sugar and Balsamic, they are so tender, sweet and citrusy.

It has chewy texture, which outside is firm and inside is soft.  Brown sugar and balsamic vinegar really go well with carrots and they are simply perfect combination.

I alone finished 500g of carrots and they are so totally yum!
