These brown sugar candied carrots are sweet and tasty and go well with many dishes. We just cut the carrots into small slices and cook them on the stove for 10 to 15 minutes while the rest of your meal is cooking. Then, add butter and brown sugar, and they are done.
There are many different ways to use carrots in your favorite meals. We use carrots in our chicken pie recipe, pot roast recipe, and in our savory buttered carrots with dill.
Are carrots a favorite vegetable?
We looked it up and found carrots to be one of the top vegetables in this country. They are very versatile vegetables. Not only are they stand-alone veggies, but they are used in many soups and stews. They also are used in salads and cakes.
Carrots are also a favorite because kids can take them to school for a snack, or as a healthy food source since they are loaded with beta carotene. They are also available in different sizes in the store. You can buy shredded or bite-sized pieces for a salad, or regular carrots you can cut up yourself. There are many choices!
