GINGERED CARROTS
I first made this original recipe about 40 years ago, and it hasn't failed me yet. The thing I like about the dish is that it isn't plain. The flavorings dress up an "ordinary" vegetable, and put some real zip in any meal! This is an easy, quick dish to make, and it adds a splash of color to your table.

GINGER-GLAZED CARROTS
The easiest, yummiest carrots you will ever eat! The recipe is just so quick and easy to make. My husband grew up hating carrots, but he is willing to try anything. When he tasted these, he asked, "What in the world did my mother do to carrots to make them so bad? These are delicious!" He now requests them ... usually about twice a week.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily shred the carrots. This will save you time and effort, and it will also ensure that the carrots are shredded evenly.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the carrots by hand. Be sure to use a box grater with the largest holes, and grate the carrots until they are very fine.
- Don't overcook the latkes! They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside. If you overcook them, they will become dry and tough.
- Serve the latkes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, and horseradish sauce.
- These latkes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or toaster oven. Just be sure to reheat them until they are warmed through.
Conclusion:
These gingered carrot latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual weeknight dinners to festive holiday gatherings. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy carrots, give these latkes a try!
