A perfect side for the holidays, these carrots have been a hit at home and at potluck dinners. You can also swap out regular carrots for rainbow carrots. It helps our daughter get more vegetables.😉
Slice them and cook in a pan, or use whole baby carrots and cook in the crockpot. Either way, your family and guests will love them… just ask my co-workers!
