I'm kicking off Holiday Side Dishes week with one of our favorite vegetables, carrots! I found this recipe on the Taste of Home site, and I love it because it's only 5 ingredients and works well with either fresh or frozen carrots.
I used frozen carrots this time around, but luckily my chives are still going strong so I was able to use fresh. I love my herb cutting scissors, they are a huge time saver! Dried chives would work fine too, use 1 to 2 teaspoons. If you don't like chives you can use rosemary or thyme.
Thank you so much to Heather from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks for hosting #HolidaySideDishes Week and be sure to go and check out all the other fantastic recipes being shared using the links down below!
