My family loves carrots. But, we usually eat them raw. I decided to change things up a bit and cook them. I wanted something sweet and a little bit spicy, so this is what I came up with. You can adjust the chipotle powder according to your taste.
You will need:
7-8 large carrots, peeled, halved, and then quartered
1 tbsp vegan butter
1/3 C brown sugar
1/3 C water
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp chipotle powder
juice from 1/2 lime
dash or 2 salt
Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet or sautee pan. Add carrots, stir to coat, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Add the brown sugar and allow to dissolve. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well, and cover. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are cooked through. Enjoy!
