Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger
Whole-roasted carrots are an effortlessly glam side, perfect with ham. But the real genius here is the matchstick-sliced ginger that bakes with them. Candied in the glaze, it's a chewy, intensely gingery topping you'll be pinching right off the pan.Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger

Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde
