There are so many ways to eat carrots. In the winter, I get really tired of raw carrots in salad and dipped in hummus. Recipes with cooked carrots are delicious and great for you too. When its cold outside, cooked veggies are easier to digest and help to fire up your metabolism. Give these maple glazed carrots a try. They make a wonderfully sweet and tasty quick and easy side for any dinner.
