Maple Glazed Carrots
Sweet and buttery, these maple glazed carrots are the perfect addition to any holiday feast! With an even mix of carrots and parsnips the earthy and mute flavors playfully bounce around with the rich sweetness of maple syrup. The tang of the lemon zest and kick of pepper to really take these maple glazed carrots to the next level! Great on their own or mashed up into the potatoes and gravy, we don’t judge!
A good carrot recipe is just as important as a good asparagus recipe (like yummy balsamic asparagus) when it comes to holiday cooking. Orange and green dishes give some contrast to a plate of white and brown holiday food! As much as we support a life covered in gravy, those pops of color are important. Not only because eating a wide varieties of colors is a great way to get an abundance of nutrients. But more importantly, it will make for a much prettier photo for the obligated social media plate post. If you didn’t take a picture, did you even eat it?
