Maple Lemon Carrots

Cooks great in the microwave!

Prep Tip: Cut carrots cook quicker than baby carrots. Whole baby carrots will cook in 4-6 minutes while cut carrots take 2-4 minutes. Or use canned carrots and cook just until hot (1-2 minutes)

Change it Up: Use 1 tablespoon brown sugar instead of maple syrup

Nutrition Tip: Carrots are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals. Try to eat orange vegetables and fruits at least 3 times a week.
