Cooking Kids

I have a recipe that gets both of my carrot hating kids to eat their carrots. They like them so much in fact, they’ve nicknamed them the “Candy Corn Carrots.” They’re simple, quick and something that an older child can help cook.

Candy Corn Carrots:

4-5 large carrots, peeled and cut into circles

1/2 C. packed brown sugar

2 tbsp. butter

Boil carrots just until tender. Drain and put the carrots back into the pan. Put carrots over medium heat and add brown sugar and butter. Stir gently while the butter and sugar melts. Increase heat, if necessary. Sugar and butter should create a sort of syrup for the carrots. Here’s a pic of what our carrots look like:

If you’ve been trying to get your kid to eat carrots, try this recipe and see if they like it. If you have an older child, give them the responsibility of boiling the carrots and melting the sugar and butter.
