Frozen vegetables make for a fast and fabulous side dish in Charlene's Cinnamon Carrots. "When Anna was a little girl, the only vegetable she would eat was carrots covered in a packaged glaze," she recalls. "I ran out of glaze one day and created this taste-tempting recipe. I never bought a prepared glaze again."

Steps:
- Melt butter in saucepan.
- Add carrots, salt, sugar and just enough water to barely cover the carrots.
- Cover and cook carrots on medium heat until tender.
- (time depends on carrot size. I usually cook baby carrots for about 25 minutes.) Remove lid, bring saucepan to a boil and boil until water is evaporated completely, leaving carrots with a sticky, buttery glaze.
- Watch carefully and stir so carrots do not scorch.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and mix.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh baby carrots. If using frozen carrots, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To get a nice glaze on the carrots, be sure to coat them evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture before roasting.
- Roast the carrots until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooked carrots will be mushy.
- Garnish the carrots with fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve the carrots warm as a side dish or snack.
Conclusion:
These cinnamon-glazed baby carrots are a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be roasted in the oven or on the grill. The carrots are coated in a sweet and savory glaze that makes them irresistible. Serve them as a side dish to your favorite main course or enjoy them as a snack.
