After I posted my Emerald Rice posting, it got me to thinking of some other great side dishes.  Here’s another one I love: 24K Carrots.  It has all the elements of a great side dish:  it’s fast, it’s simple, it’s made with ingredients you always have, it’s delicious, but still simple enough that everyone likes it.

With the holidays coming up, and with family coming to visit, I plan on making this side dish quite a few times.  This is another one of my go-to recipes.  If we’re invited over to someone’s house for dinner and they haven’t given me a specific assignment, a lot of times I’ll bring this side dish.  Even kids like this recipe…and the word on the street is that kids aren’t usually all that fond of veggies!  So, here you go!

24K Carrots

• 1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced (I just used whole baby carrots)
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
• 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger (this is what makes it special!)

1. Cook carrots until tender.
2. Melt butter; add brown sugar & ginger, stirring to blend.
3. Add sauce to carrots and stir to coat.
4. Yes, it’s THAT simple and you have a SIMPLE, delicious, and versatile side dish!
