Amazing. So easy to make and super delicious. Will definitely make this again. -
We enjoyed these as they were not too sweet, though I did up the chili powder a tad. I scaled it back for 3 carrots (total weight of 6 ounzes and adjusted amounts accordingly and with other sides and mains this was this was enough for 3 of us, mine did take longer than specified to get to a glaze consistency (about 15 minutes). Thank you LARavescrift, made for 123 Hits tag game. -
I used vernor's ginger ale in this recipe. I also added just a hint of heavy cream to make them extra decadent -
These are really easy and quick to make....plus they are yummy! I loved them, my DS only likes carrots raw! But these are definitely do again carrots for me. Thanks for sharing! -
Very nice side! We liked the way the chili powder not only add flavor but helped balance them out so as not to be too sweet. Made as written and will make again. Thanks for the post.
