"These simple and easy to prepare carrots are so delicious, you will find yourself going back for a second helping! They are great for the holidays as they serve a lot of people. However, you can easily half or quarter the recipe with great results too. Make sure you cook the carrots barely to al dente (until they can just be pierced with a knife or fork). You don't want to overcook them, or they will be mushy."
Original is 10-12 servings
