This past weekend I got a beautiful bunch of baby carrots in my Farmer’s Market box and these Rosemary and Garlic Maple Glazed Carrots is what became of them.
Using only a few simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, this delicious side dish can be ready in under 10 minutes.
And, these may even help the little ones who don’t like veggies enjoy them more…or at least give them a try.
Even though my boys will eat a raw carrot for a snack like an apple or banana, they loved these and even asked for seconds.
These are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly and contain no refined sugar.
