This is such a nice carrot recipe! I served them with a nice roast beef that we cooked on the grill and the carrots made the meal extra special for DH and I!

LOVE THEM! I'm a huge butter and sweet fanatic so having something healthy that is both buttery and sweet is great!.... I of course added a bit more butter and brown sugar and cooked the carrots a little bit longer than called for... but overall this is a great and simple recipe

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!

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!!
