One of my favorite vegetables are carrots but I do not like them raw. I will eat them cooked in just about any recipe. I love carrots because they are very and highly nutritious. This side dish is a simple and only takes a short time to cook. These carrots were served with sliced baked ham and homemade whole wheat stuffing in our house, but you could have these with just about anything.
