Thanksgiving side dish: glazed dijon baby carrots
This is my favorite of all the glazed carrot recipes I have ever prepared, and it actually does have a听glaze on it, not some sauce that just runs off. Not too sweet and the Dijon flavor pairs perfectly. I think you will like these as much as I do!
Just to clarify, since more than one person has asked me about the carrots, these are heirloom carrots, which came in orange, yellow, white and purple. They aren鈥檛 parsnips or anything like that. It really doesn鈥檛 make a big deal of difference in the recipe, as any type carrot will work.听
They'll also make a wonderful addition to your Thanksgiving table.
