I scaled this back to 1 serve and as a side served 3 of us (o'kay could have done with a little more) with Nif Nif's Great Grilled Potatoes and some steamed bean (in the microwave but I boobed and they were a disaster and binned) and the main was Oven Roasted Chicken With Lemon, Garlic and Rosemary and they all compliments one another. Thank you Tisme, made for Editionh 8 - Make My Recipe.

These carrots are FANTASTIC! My family normally complains when I make any type of cooked carrots, but not this time. I heard "Oh Wow! Mom these carrots are so good, you have to make them again." from three very picky eaters. I will definitely make them again. Thanks for sharing Tisme. Made as a recipenap for the 24th AUS/NZ Swap.

These are great and I'm not a carrot lover. Easy to make and went nicely with our roast lamb. Thanks for a keeper Tis!

Very easy to make using my juilienne peeler which meant I didn't have to cook as long as the recipe states and I only had to use 1 carrot but left other ingredients as stated. I will make these often. It complimented Sharon 123's Garlic Ginger Chicken Strips (I left breasts whole) beautifully. I served with steamed green beans & peas and Jewelies Smashed potatoes with garlic pepper as the seasoning. Thanks for a great 'keeper'.
