• Once carrots have caramelized , lower heat to medium--medium/low and continue cooking, stirring periodically, until carrots have reached desired doneness.
• Cooking time is not approximate as some may prefer their carrots to retain some crunchiness, but to assure maximum sweetness, I recommend cooking till all carrots are soft throughout, which on the average, is about 10-15 minutes after caramelize process is complete.
