I made these for 2 of us as an accompaniment to a pot roast. VERY good and very simple. I had 2 large carrots on hand that I wanted to use up.

I really liked this recipe! I used baby peeled carrots and kept them whole instead of slicing them & instead of regular carrots. I used 1/4 tsp. salt. I found this recipe to be very tasty and basically kept the recipe as is. This is definitely a keeper for me! delowenstein

Easy recipe. My husband doesn't like carrots, but will eat these. Very economical. We have these on a regular basis. Don't tell guests you're having carrots with dinner, just serve them. They will disappear.
