ZESTY CARROTS

This is an easy-to-make family favorite and has always been served as a side dish at our Thanksgiving dinners. Don't let the horseradish scare you. It merely adds a tangy flavor. You can use pre-made bread crumbs to make it even easier. Light mayo works fine and so does cooking spray on the casserole dish in place of butter.

ZIPPY CARROTS

THIS RECIPE originally didn't call for green pepper, but when I was making it one time, I noticed some in the refrigerator and decided to add it. It gave a little extra zip, so I've kept it a part of the recipe. This makes ordinary carrots special and adds nice color to a meal. -Mina Dyck, Boissevain, Manitoba

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young carrots. Baby carrots are a great option, as they are tender and sweet.
  • Peel the carrots if desired. This is not necessary, but it will give the carrots a more polished look.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large pot or skillet. You want the carrots to have plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Add enough water or broth to cover the carrots. This will help them steam and cook through.
  • Season the carrots with salt and pepper, or other desired seasonings.
