These maple glazed baby carrots were A HIT with my children. I lightly sautéed boiled baby carrots in a “caramel” sauce made from a little bit of butter, orange juice and maple syrup. A pinch of cinnamon added a little bit of extra flavor. These carrots were such a hit with my kids, I’ll be making them for Christmas dinner too!
I served these maple glazed baby carrots as a side dish with Parmesan Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Simple Stovetop Pork Chops.
