Boy do I love carrots. Carrots are one of my favorite vegetables. Something about their smell that really gets me. But I am not a big fan of boiled or mushy carrots so putting carrots on my plate almost never happens. Well at least until this little recipe came along. These carrots can be steamed and still be a little crunchy while really bringing out that sweetness. And if you didn’t think they were sweet enough we will go ahead and toss them with some honey and mint.
This recipe is a great side, low in calories and fat but high in taste. All the kids I know love these carrots and forget they are even healthy. This is a wonderful side dish that anyone can love. Although it is a little high in sugar, they are all unprocessed natural sugars.
