Of you are looking for a lovely addition to your Thanksgiving buffet table this year, look no further. 

I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone by.  It seems as  though spring was just a few weeks ago, and here we are getting close to the holiday season! I really enjoy roasting vegetables this time of the year. They taste amazing in salads and as side dishes like my roasted Parmesan carrots recipe..

Vanilla and Honey Glazed Carrots

I love to cook carrots in a way that brings out their natural sweet nature.  Normally, I will roast them in the oven, as I do in this roasted carrots and mushroom recipe. But roasting carrots takes more time and uses up oven space, which matters on a special day such as Thanksgiving.

During the holidays, all your regular recipes need a little bit of dressing up to make them extra special. Baby carrots are sweet on their own.  For a special holiday treat, try to get some from your local Farmer’s market!

Adding honey to an already sweet vegetable like carrots adds a rich extra touch and the champagne vinegar adds a nice bit of tartness to even out the sweet taste. Your guests will just love this recipe..And you will love how simple it is to make!

Just combine all of your ingredients in a large sauté pan over a medium heat. The trick is to be careful not to crowd the carrots. Bring the pan to a simmer. If the liquid reduces to much, just add extra water or honey as they cook.  As you continue cooking, the liquid will be reduced to almost nothing and you’ll be done. except for a garnish of fresh parsley.  No babysitting, or stirring. Just easy, peasy – the perfect Thanksgiving side dish!

These honey glazed carrots are  very easy to do and just delicious.  The carrots are sweet and crunchy with just a hint of vanilla in the delicious glaze. You can also make this recipe Paleo compliant by using clarified butter instead of normal butter.
