"Great side dish with any meal, but really nice during the Holidays. Use a good maple syrup from the NE region of the US. This can be made ahead. From Bon Appetit."

My DH and I loved these and I can't wait to make them for our family on Thanksgiving. I just know they are going to go over in a big way with them all! So delicious with the addition of the syrup and sugar. This is my favorite way to serve carrots! -
I made just half a recipe for two of us, but can see myself making these again for a dinner party ~ GREAT TASTING CARROTS, what with the maple syrup & the molasses from the brown sugar! A definite keeper! The posted recipe is much appreciated! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Recipe Tag]
