This was VERY tasty! The maple syrup and butter were just the right amount of blending together. I did pour it over the cooked carrots and let it all simmer for about five minutes before serving though. And I used large carrots, cut into strips. Wonderful.
My wife and family love this recipe. Very tasty…
Easy, quick, and delicious. Win! Win! Win!
This was a very easy recipe and husband loved instead of just plain carrots. Will definitely use again.
I made these carrots for Thanksgiving and have been asked by several guests to please make them again for Christmas Eve. These carrots were a big hit!
Made for Thanksgiving side. Nice change from Green beans.
Great side that’s easy to prepare. Not overly sweet.
Delicious as it is. Will make again for sure. So easy.
Easy
My file contains a ton of recipes for carrots because my husband is a big fan. This dish is the easiest and the best.
Great, my wife loved it as an accompaniment to boiled lobster tail. Just enough sweetness to balance the salt in the butter.
This was a great recipe! I didn’t have baby carrots on hand so I peeled regular carrots and cut them into 1/2” slices. I also used a little less than 1/3 c. of maple syrup then instead added 2-3 tbsp. of brown sugar and a few dashes of cinnamon. (I also omitted the salt and pepper).
i did 2 tablespoons of butter for 1 pound of carrots and it was delicious!
Super easy and delicious! I steamed baby carrots and drizzled over the butter/syrup as directed. I sprinkled some no-salt seasoning on top, stirred it up, and good to go.
These were awsome and I am not a cooked carrot lover. I wanted seconds. I made this for my family and everyone loved them. I did use frozen carrots carrots, so I’ll have to be careful next time, as they were a bit too soft. Will certainly make them again and again and again. . .
I’ve made this several times. My husband loves them. Also works well with drained can carrots!
Based on my granddaughter’s 5 helpings!!! I have to give this a 5 star. Easy and delicious!
I made these carrots exactly like the recipe. They are delicious! So simple to make with ingredients that we all usually have on hand.
I didn’t make any changes,wouldn’t think of it. These carrots are mildly sweet and light up your tougue! I My whole family loved them! I will be making them again and again. Thank you
A huge hit at my holiday table, even those who dislike carrots went for seconds. Super quick and easy, why eat carrots any other way!
Simply delicious.
