Vegan Caramelized Carrots Recipe

Whether you are looking for an easy gluten-free and vegan side dish or just an easy way to get your kids to eat their carrots, look no further. Try these simple, sweet glazed carrots. They are quick to prepare and made with just a few ingredients. Glazed carrots can be prepared with a bag of store-bought ready-to-eat baby carrots, or you can slice full-size carrots by hand or by using the slicer attachment on a food processor. In this super-easy side dish, carrots are glazed with a bit of vegan margarine (check the label to make sure your margarine is vegan) and brown sugar. The combination results in an almost caramelized taste. Carrots are naturally sweet, so just a touch of extra sugar turns this carrot dish into a real treat. With just three ingredients, it's a breeze to prepare. If you're not eating dairy-free or vegan, you can use real butter in this simple side dish. For grown-ups, you can finish off your carrots with a bit of fresh minced thyme or mint for a beautiful and tasty garnish. These simple glazed carrots would also make a suitable gluten-free and vegan holiday side dish or a welcome addition to a vegan or vegetarian meal. If you are serving them at an autumn party and want to add a fall touch, sprinkle dried cranberries over the glazed carrots. A dash of cinnamon or nutmeg added just before serving adds some warming spices to the carrots.
