Citrus Infused Glazed Carrots

I think carrots are by far one of the most versatile and yummy vegetables you can eat. You can smash them, braise them, broil them, boil them and stir fry them. However, for some strange reason (at least strange to me) kids don't always seem to find them that tasty. Case in point, my 2 year kindly removes them from her plate and literally places them as far away from her as possible. In an effort to put more carrots in more bellies I decided to share this delightfully simple yet delicous recipe that will please adults and children alike.


I absolutely love the added kick from the clementine, it gave the carrots a nice sweet citrus flavor, not to mention the aroma was splendid.




P.S. I even got the 2 year old to eat these. YAY!
