Easy Maple Glazed Baby Carrots

By , About.com Guide

Maple glazed baby carrots

A simple side vegetable dish. Baby carrots are naturally sweet, and this quick and easy recipe bring that natural sweetness out with a simple maple syrup glaze. The whole family will love these glazed carrots.

Ingredients:

  • 1 16 ounce bag baby carrots
  • water for steaming carrots
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tso maple syrup
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • dash nutmeg and cinnamon

Preparation:

Steam the carrots until soft, about eight minutes.

In a large skillet, whisk together the vegetable oil and maple syrup over low heat. Add steamed carrots, and sautee for just a minute or two, until heated through, stirring well to coat the carrots with the maple glaze.

Season generously with sea salt (it really will taste better than regular table salt, I promise!) and a dash of black pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.
