The brightly colored root vegetable is packed with health benefits. Carrots contain vitamin A, antioxidants, and other nutrients and are rich in fiber.

Evidence suggests that eating more antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, can help reduce the risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease. 

I like to serve carrots often. They provided much in the way of nutrition and are inexpensive. Carrots work well when serving chicken, beef, pork, ham and fish. They add an appetizing color to the plate and most people like them. 

Glazed carrots usually appear on our holiday table, especially for Easter complimenting the ham or at Thanksgiving alongside the roasted turkey. But weeknight meals such as baked chicken or pork chops are entrees that pair well with carrots.

    I just left a nice long comment and forgot to check the button and so it deleted it before I could catch it. Anyway, wonderful recipe—one even kids love. I used to make these for every Easter brunch.
    Have a good night- xo Diana

    Now I wish I had some carrots in my refrigerator. I just used up what I had the other day. I’m going to have to try them this way the next time I make some
