what's in it

These carrots are seriously delicious, a little sweet with the unmistakable zing of fresh ginger, but don't worry it's not overpowering. There's just enough to give that warm, peppery taste without being too hot for the little ones to handle.

And this dish couldn't be easier! You just need 4 ingredients-carrots, maple syrup, fresh ginger, and coconut oil. One thing, you want to be sure to use fresh ginger here instead of the ground stuff. The flavors are quite different and the finished dish will not taste the same.

how to make this dish

The preparation is just as simple as the ingredients. Just slice your carrots, toss with the remaining ingredients and bake until tender and flavorful.

If serving for a large crowd, this recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to accommodate your needs.
