24k Carrots

Description: Carrots coated with a yummy butter, brown sugar and ginger sauce. I grew up eating these in Texas. Easy, quick and yummy!-- GREAT way to get kids to enjoy this veggie! If you like a lot of sauce double the sauce ingredients. I posted this less 'saucy' to keep the fat and calories down. The sauce is yummy and great on rice or just on a spoon! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! I am so honored that this simple little recipe of mine has been so well received. Thank you all for your reviews!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced (I find organic has the best flavor) or 1 lb baby carrots, whole (I find organic has the best flavor)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons butter (real butter is always better) or 2 tablespoons margarine (real butter is always better)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (grated, feel free to add more or less) or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger (grated, feel free to add more or less)

Steps:

1. Cook carrots until tender- or to desired doneness. (I usually steam them to retain the most flavor).
2. Melt butter and add brown sugar and ginger, stirring to blend.
3. Add sauce to carrots and stir to coat.
