    This side of sweet carrots with a hint of cardamom blend well. They're particularly nice during the holiday's, served up with poultry.

    Ingredients

    • 2 Lbs. Carrots, Cut Into Julienne Strips
    • 1 Tsp. Salt
    • 1/4 Cup Butter, Cubed
    • 1/4 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
    • 1 Tsp. Ground Cardamom
    • 1 Tsp. Orange Zest

    Directions

    1. In a large saucepan, bring 1 in. of water, carrots and salt to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 7 - 9 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
    2. In a large skillet, combine the butter, brown sugar, cardamom and orange zest. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 - 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Add carrots; toss to coat.

      I love the flavor of cardamom, and I'm sure that it tastes amazing with the orange zest. I would probably leave out the sugar.

        It's great with or without sugar. Buttoni's suggestion of maple extract sounds exciting. If your carrots need a bit of sweetness, try using a light drizzle of honey. I used the brown sugar to entice kids to eat their veggies. Cheese and sugar work for this depending on the veggie.
