Last saturday I bought several bags of baby carrots with the intention of replacing all those unhealthy packaged snacks I've been reaching for lately. You know the snacks I speak of. The kind you eat mindlessly in front of the computer, right? Of course, after I arrived home with them, a neighbor decided to share the bounty of his summer garden. So I set aside my baby carrots and indulged in fresh cucumbers and tomatoes all week. {Did you know carrots, cucumbers, & tomatoes are all zero points on the Weight Watchers Plan?}
So what to do with all those baby carrots? I started going through my old cookbooks looking for a healthy recipe for carrots. But healthy wasn't the only criteria; I was also looking for an easy dish that I could make in less than thirty minutes. Lo and behold, I found the perfect recipe for glazed carrots in an old vegetarian cookbook that I'd forgotten I had. There are a lot of gems in those old cookbooks. Additionally, this recipe is gluten free!

ReplyDeleteNancy, so sorry for leaving that out. I've updated the post. It's 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Thank you for letting me know!
DeleteI barely ate carrots before discovering this recipe. I love it!! I am surprised I didn't turn orange when I first made it as I ate these a lot!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the serving size?
ReplyDeleteWhe can you find unsweetened apple juice concentrate? I can only find the regular concentrate in my local grocery store.
