Usually when I prepare a vegetable for a side dish I cook or steam them without any type of a sauce; salt, pepper, and butter works out fine for me. I had fish on the menu for tonight and thought this Ginger Glazed Carrots Recipe would go really well with baked fish. This is a simple recipe with most of the prep time dedicated to cutting the carrots in half. I used the pre peeled baby carrots from the market for this recipe. Cooking time will very a little bit depending how tender you like the carrots. If you like ginger, give this Ginger Glazed Carrots Recipe; it’s really good.
