Theses carrots were absolutely delicious! So very simple to prepare with great results! I cooked as directed and when adding the lemon, salt & pepper, parsley and butter I added also 1 tsp of sugar. Excellent recipe! Thanks, Junebug!

This is a very nice way to dress up ordinary carrots. I agree that the lemon juice gave it a nice zing. I think next time I'll take Mirj's suggestion and add some lemon zest, and maybe a little more sugar at the end, too!

Yummmmmmmmmmmm! The lemon works so well with the sugar and the carrots, I could get addicted. I like it just a little more lemony, so I added some lemon zest. I also didn't have any baby carrots, so I just used some baby carrot-sized slices of adult carrots. I knew I had a good thing going right away, and made enough for dinner tonight and leftovers for lunch tomorrow. They are going to be so jealous of me in the office when they smell this heating up in the microwave. Junebug, 10 stars!

This was easy and tasty. I even used dried parsley and was pleased with the results. This will be made often at my house.

I followed the recipe exactly, except for the lemon. I had none, so I used fresh lime juice. This recipe was wonderful. Our guests really enjoyed it.

This is a great way to dress up carrots for a nice side dish. The lemon provides just enough zest and the sugar and butter are such a nice compliment to the other flavors! I had to use dried parsley as I didn't have any fresh and it still turned out wonderful! I will be making this recipe again! Thank so much! Kristen

Very tasty! The sugar takes the edge off the lemon but still leaves a nice zing. I think it is important to add the sugar at the beginning of cooking to give the sweetness time to get into the carrots, rather than just coating them. Extra sugar is not really necessary at the end, nor is any extra lemon- this recipe may look deceptively simple, leaving one wondering if they should do more, but it is perfect as is. Thanks for posting!

I love this recipe. I made it for Thanksgiving and got many compliments. My kids loved these carrots and I think this recipe is destined to become a family favorite. I may try it in the future with dill instead of parsley just for a variation.

Just the right amount of lemon and the sugar gives a rich flavor Thanks Junebug for a nice sidedish to my Christmas dinner

These were very good. I had them with some blandish pork chops and corn on the cob. The lemon in the carrots complimented the rest of the meal quite well. They were slightly tart for my tastes, so I added a tiny bit of Splenda after the carrots were done, and that did the trick.
