I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but this dish was actually really good. The sauce was especially tasty.

I loved the pop of color that the carrots added to my plate. They were also a great source of crunch.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I could see how others might enjoy it.

I followed the recipe exactly and my carrots turned out mushy. I think I would cook them for less time next time.
