Welcome to the second dish of my Thanksgiving series. I thought I would share a simple side dish. These baked maple ginger carrots may be simple to put together but they are big on flavor. My kids really enjoy them and I think it is because they are cooked just until tender crisp. We aren’t big mushy veggie fans here so my veggies are always cooked til they still have a slight crunch.
They maple syrup adds to the sweetness of the carrots and the ginger is a nice compliment and adds something special to the dish. I love how easy this is to put together and get on the table cuz with 6 littles running around you need an arsenal of quick but fabulous dishes 🙂 .
