Candied Carrots
As carrot recipes go, these Candied Carrots are easy and incredibly delicious. Whether you’re making these as one of your Thanksgiving or holiday side dishes or as one of the vegetable side dishes that your kids will actually eat, this is one of those recipes that will fit perfectly into your regular meal plan at any time of year.
As a vegetarian side dish that you can serve almost anyone, this is also a gluten-free option for those with restrictions!
You can choose to use either frozen or raw carrots for this, but since it’s a bit more difficult to find raw wavy carrots in the store, you can opt for whichever version is found more easily.
