Maple Butter Carrots

I’m always looking for new and delicious side dishes. I always have a long list of entrees I want to try, and then I fall flat on the sides and either just throw together a salad, mixed vegetables, rice or noodles. But I’ve switched my focus as of late to make sure that the sides I make are just as delicious as the entree itself. These Maple Butter Carrots were the start of that.

I sautéed these carrots in olive oil, butter and garlic. BUT the ingredients that really sent these carrots over the edge, and catapult them into the realm of deliciousness, are maple syrup and dried basil.

The sweetness of the maple syrup makes these carrots irresistible. I had my boyfriend and his children asking for thirds, saying that these were the best carrots that they’ve ever had.

Now, these carrots are in the regular dinner rotation, and I promise they will be for you too after you make them for your family.

Enjoy, loves!
