Getting your children to eat veggies can be a chore sometimes and it is next to impossible to get them to actually enjoy most fruits & veggies.
Sometimes it takes a little finesse in the preparation to play to the whimsical nature of a child’s mind.
These “candy carrot coins” do just that, by combining a little sweetness with the vitamin-A rich vegetable to tickle the tongue.
Ingredients:
1 lb. carrots
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp water
To Create:
Peel the carrot and then slice each one into half-inch rounds. Place the carrot coins in a bowl, cover with water and plastic wrap and microwave for 6-7 minutes or until the carrots are tender and not mushy. Drain the carrots and set to the side.
Melt butter in a small skillet, and then stir in brown sugar and water and let cook for a minute or so. Add the carrots and toss to coat in the butter-brown sugar mixture. Cook on low for 3-4 minutes or until the carrots are glazed completely.
