These beautiful, sweet carrots are such a treat! A lot of you may only think of eating carrots in the fall or winter, but they are so sweet right now in late spring/early summer, and if you can find the multi- color ones, they are the best! Another great thing about carrots, they are so reasonably priced, a whole bag for usually no more than $3.00, organic is usually a little more but most times worth it. I added some of my favorite ingredients to these beauties such as honey, ginger and orange juice, all these ingredients just brings out the sweetness of the carrots even more! This is a great side dish and carrots love pork, grilled chops with these, is a perfect pair! Get reacquainted with carrots, they are not just for a veggie platter anymore, this dish is so good and worth trying!
