Glazed Mini Carrots
Sweeten any meal with the Vitamin
A-goodness of carrots. Save time by
buying bags of “baby” carrots (actually
peeled and pared down versions of mature
whole carrots), or simply peel and slice
your own. Leaving the skin on, and
scrubbing it well, doesn’t really add much
nutritional power and can add bitterness,
so scrape it off for best results.
