When you want to elevate a carrot side dish, serve these glazed carrots. It's a simple side dish you can whip up in no time. Orange marmalade adds a punch of citrus that's balanced by the spicy cayenne pepper and fresh ginger. I cook almost every night and like to have a vegetable with my meal. The trouble is I want something quick and yummy. I used to go through the bother of making glazed carrots only to be frustrated at the time, money, and energy spent that usually did not yield consistent results. Then an epiphany! So I share my simple fast and delicious solution with all of you.
