Orange-Glazed Shredded Carrots (Reduced or Low-Fat) image

With the holidays coming, now is the time when I begin looking for delectable side-dishes. While there are many recipes for glazed carrots, this redition looks like one that everyone will enjoy but won't contribute to the holiday bulge. Found this in my Eating Well magazine and plnning to prepare it for Thanksgiving. A mandoline makes quick work of preparing the carrots. Even better, you can buy pre-shredded carrots in the market.
