These turned out great. What a nice change (normally I do butter and dill carrots). I used whole organic carrots, washed but not skinned, and sliced them about the length of a baby carrot, smaller on the thicker parts. Delicious!!!

I made this using the cut baby carrots cut in fourths. They were a combination of orange and white carrots. The recipe is very easy to follow the carrots were ready in the time frame specified.
