Using small, slender carrots makes this an especially stunning side, but large carrots work equally well when halved lengthwise.

MINTED GLAZED CARROTS

Found on bunch carrots from Siri Produce Inc. in Oregon. DON'T use those awful "baby carrots" from the grocery store. Whole carrots (small-medium sized) and organic are best. If the carrots are small leave whole but if they are medium-sized cut in half lengthwise. If your carrots are good quality they don't need to be peeled. Recipe adapted slightly.
