Simple side dishes are as important as the main entree. Having a salad every night gets old but the side dish is often how most people get in their daily veggies.
Easy preparation is as important as the taste. The brown sugar and butter make for a caramel-like sauce while the ginger and lemon give it a little kick.
Whip up a batch of these easy ginger glazed carrots and be fat and happy knowing you filled your belly with one of the most healing foods available.
Tips and techniques: Purchase pre-cleaned baby carrots for ease rather than having to peel and cut the carrots into one or two bite pieces.
