Hey Guys… Hope your April has been off to a fantastic start without any pranks.
Here at AFCJ we were surprised with a quick snow ❄ shower today…..
Which really is not too terribly unusual for around here….
Especially since we can see snow one day and seventy degree weather the next. 😁
Oh well… gotta love it here in the great Southeast.
But anyway… back to these yummy easy to prepare carrots.
Since I’m pretty sure that’s why you’re really here today. 😉
HOW TO MAKE MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS

INGREDIENTS FOR MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS
- Carrots
- Olive oil
- Pure maple syrup
WHAT TYPE OF CARROTS TO USE FOR GLAZED CARROTS RECIPE
I always recommend using organic carrots and if you can find the multi-colored ones those are my personal favorite.
But with that being said…. you can easily use all plain carrots since organic orange carrots are usually readily available in most locations.
So ya see how beautiful these multi-colored carrots are….
Definitely make for a gorgeous display and perfect for a holiday table.
And if you celebrate the Easter holiday which is just a few weeks away these Maple Glazed Carrots would be the perfect addition to your table.
