A glaze is an easy way to dress up hearty root vegetables. I like to make these with an easy Maple syrup or honey glaze as a side dish for pot roast or roasted duck, and use braising liquid or pan drippings. You may use your favorite spices and seasonings in this recipe.

Note: Lately I have been using Extra Virgin Avocado Oil, which is rich in Omega 3, 6, 9 & Vitamin A, D, E; it also has a high burning point, which makes it perfect for frying, cooking & salads. I recommend to try it.
