Loved these. The glaze was just perfect with the right amount of sweetness. Could not really taste the lemon, but that was okay. I'll be making these again for sure. thanks Paula.

This was a very easy recipe. I would recommend using fresh baby carrots instead of frozen though as they were quite moist and it took much longer than it should have for the glaze to thicken. Other than that tip, it was a 5-star recipe! Thanks Paula!!

Absolutely delicious! DH who doesn't care much for carrots, loved it too! We loved the combination of the sugar and the lemon and the chicken stock.. Next time I think I might add in an extra splash of lemon juice, but that's just a presonal preference, it's scrummy as is! I intended to serve it as a side, but as I was plating it, I gobbled up almost half of it before it even reached the dining table .. Thank you, PaulaG, for sharing this wonderful recipe, a keeper for sure!
