Honey-Mint Carrots
(Makes 6 servings)
Simple and fat-free. I've
also made it with 1/2 lb baby carrots.
Ingredients:
6 medium peeled carrots, cut
into 1/4 inch diagonal slices
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon chopped fresh
mint leaves or 1 teaspoon dried mint (the fresh is so much better!)
1. In large pan, heat 1 inch
of water to boiling.
2. Add carrots and bring
water back to boil.
3. Immediately reduce heat,
cover pan and simmer about 10 minutes, or until carrots are
crisp-tender.
4. Drain well and transfer to
serving bowl.
5. Drizzle honey on top and
sprinkle mint leaves over all.
6. Toss gently to mix well
and serve immediately.
Note: You can also nuke your
carrots in the microwave with a small amount of water for about 8
minutes on High (or until crisp-tender) in place of steps 1-3.
