Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

Recipe Notes
I use sugar-free honey to keep my sugar intake low, but if you're not worried about sugar or carbs, you can use honey instead.
I also use xanthan gum to thicken the glaze, again to keep my carbs low, but if you're not concerned with carbs, you can use a little cornstarch slurry to thicken the glaze with instead.
