Honey Citrus-Glazed Carrots
Carrots are a healthy, nutritious, and versatile veggie, but let’s face it, they can sometimes be a tad boring. That tends to be especially true in the minds of younger eaters — and carrots’ bright orange hue makes them a tough food to sneak onto your kids’ plates without notice. So why not go big and let a few unexpected seasonings help you let carrots be the tasty new star of the show?
This unique and flavorful new dish that uses carrots as the base will allow you to do just that. A few simple and kid-friendly yet healthy ingredients that you probably already have on hand — think honey, citrus, a little bit of chicken broth, and a splash of zesty orange juice — help make this easy carrot dish a mid-week crowd-pleaser. If you’re having trouble getting your kids to eat their vegetables, these sweet and tangy, anything-but-boring glazed carrots just may do the trick! In fact, we can practically hear your kids asking now: “Mom, can I get some more carrots on my plate, please?” Yes, you sure can.
