| Glazed carrots. |
I like carrots in all forms: raw in a salad, in spaghetti sauce, in potato salad, to crunch on as a snack, but over the holidays I prepared glazed carrots as a side dish for a fancy dinner. They are so easy, and almost everyone likes them.
I chose carrots of about the same size. Actually I bought these already with the leaves and peelings removed. So very, very easy to prepare.

I boiled them until semi-tender.

Then I melted some butter (about 2 tablespoons) along with 1/4 cup of maple syrup. I transferred the carrots over to this pot and coated them well with the glaze. I cooked them about 5 minutes in the glaze. I like them not overcooked so they were perfect as a side dish with a bit of fresh thyme sprinkled on top. They added a lot of color to the plate.

Don't you think they make a colorful and healthful side dish?
