    This decadent side dish is lightly sweet and super delicious.  These Maple Glazed Carrots are a great way to get your kids to love their vegetables!

    Maple Glazed Carrots make the perfect side dish!

    When I heard that my dear friend Katie over at Healthy Seasonal Recipes was writing a cookbook titled, maple, I swear she wrote it for me.  I know I am not alone in my love affair for everything maple syrup and this cookbook is absolutely gorgeous.  You see Katie and I share the same passion for health and wellness (and apparently maple syrup) and I love flipping through the pages and picking out what recipe I am going to make next.  The list is long!

    Maple Glazed Carrots make the perfect side dish!

    All of the pictures in this book are just as beautiful as the cover.  I can't wait to make so many of these recipes! I decided to start with the Maple Glazed Carrots.  I thought it would be fun to use tricolor carrots too.  How pretty are these?

    Maple Glazed Carrots make the perfect side dish!

    The recipe is simple and straight forward.  I was able to make this while helping with my kids' homework! How's that for multi-tasking?

    Cook Time: 25 minutes
    Total Time: 25 minutes
    Servings: 4 cups
    Author: Lauren Kelly

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or coconut oil to make it vegan
    • 1 shallot minced
    • 1 ⁄4 cup water
    • 1 ⁄4 cup dark pure maple syrup
    • 1 ⁄2 teaspoon salt or to taste
    • 1 ⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 5 cups sliced carrots about 1⁄4-inch thick
    • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

    Instructions

    • Heat butter in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, until soft and browned. Add water, syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add carrots and return to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
    • Cover, reduce heat to medium to maintain a lively simmer, and cook, stirring once or twice, 4 to 6 minutes, until carrots are crisp-tender. Remove lid and stir in vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking, stirring often, 3 to 5 minutes, until liquid has thickened and carrots are coated. Serve warm.

      This doesn't appear to be vegan; perhaps sub out the butter for coconut oil or a vegan butter?

        You are absolutely correct, I changed it to say "vegan option" and offered coconut oil as a substitute. Thank you!
