Sautéed Carrots Three Ways
I love Carrots. And with the holidays upon us one can always use a good carrot dish. This one can be made three ways. You can choose the healthiest version and simply sauté carrots in butter with a little sea salt… or sweeten it up by adding a little light brown sugar… or make it extra fancy by adding sugar and the zest of an orange. All three ways are delicious!
