Maple Glazed Carrots

My mom really never had problems with getting me to eat my vegetables as a child.  Come to think of it, I really can’t think of any food I didn’t like.  I always cleared my plate and never complained when it came to mealtime.

Maple Glazed Carrots

I love carrots no matter how they’re prepared:  glazed, raw, steamed, boiled, or baked with a pot roast or a big ol’ flounder.  I tried to grow them one year, but didn’t have much luck.  Maybe I’ll try again one day.

I love the way these carrots taste… they’re just a tad crisp with a sweet and tangy glaze made with real maple syrup.  I leave the skins on… it doesn’t hurt a thing and provides extra nutrients.

This is a healthy, easy and beautiful side dish for a busy weeknight meal or to serve to your most special guests.
