A couple flips of the pan and these sauteed baby carrots will land right in the plate next to your main dish. These sweet little candied carrots are great served with any kind of meat or fish. Adding a little butter and brown sugar to the carrots almost guarantees the kids will love them. I love sautéing them with long green onions or shallots to give them a little added flavor.
