Buttery Sweet Cooked Carrots
My kids have never been big vegetable eaters. Corn is usually a go but if I try getting very colorful with the veggies, they turn and run. My sister, Jamie, gave me this recipe for cooked carrots years ago. When I mention that I'm making Aunt Jamie's cooked carrots they all turn and run, to the table that is. These carrots are buttery, a little sweet and topped off with a hint of lemon. The perfect combination to put a smile on the face of any vegetable or non-vegetable eater. And I bet they'll come back for more.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1 lb bag baby carrots
2 TBS parsley
2 tsp lemon juice
Directions:
Melt butter in pan. Stir in broth, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, add carrots. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer until crisp and tender. Stir in parsley and lemon juice. Drain and serve.
