DELICIOUS CARROTS



Delicious Carrots image

My favorite way to make carrots now; I got the recipe from my mom, who made them at Christmas last year. They have a delicious flavor and aren't overly sweet. If you can't find the petite carrots, use regular carrots cut into matchsticks or baby carrots cut lengthwise into halves or quarters.

SIMPLY DELICIOUS HONEY SPICED CARROTS



Simply Delicious Honey Spiced Carrots image

Edited after RSC reviews to make this less sweet. Carrots are a tasty yet budget conscious vegetable. However, cardamom can be an expensive spice so I buy it in bulk at my Health Food Store. That way I can buy just what I need at a fraction of the price charged in the grocery store! Kids generally like baby carrots so why not cook them up as a tasty side dish and get them eating a vegetable with their meal! Remember, DO NOT give honey to children under one year of age! I like to saute the carrots as that brings out the sweetness of the carrots but steam them if you prefer. Hope you enjoy this creation!

This is a great side dish that my mom used to make all the time. Typical Czech cuisine. We serve it with pasta or potatoes and chicken breast. I make this quite often as my DH loves it. Sometimes I add baby pea for more color. It is easy put together and delicious inexpensive meal.
