Lemon Glazed Carrots

A slightly sweet and lemony glaze makes these Lemon Glazed Carrots a great compliment to any holiday dinner or everyday dinner table.

Lemony Carrots: A Perfect Spring Side Dish

While we may not be able to tell that spring is upon us, it is undeniable that Easter is just around the corner.

I think the unnaturally cool weather has made Easter sneak, quite surprisingly, from the throes of winter, to pounce, suddenly, on our doorstep.

Our Lemon Glazed Carrots Recipe

These carrots are a springy twist on your classic glazed carrots.

Lemon adds a light and refreshing brightness that accents the carrot’s natural sweetness. A little brown sugar and a pinch of nutmeg bring just enough of a warm caramel flavor to round out the flavors.

Best of all, this side dish is EASY. A quick saute and simmer, and these carrots are ready to go.

They’re intended to be slightly crisp, so even on a buffet table, they won’t wind up mushy by the time seconds, or thirds, come around.
