        They are so perfect for holidays as they taste a little bit special, but they also don't take up oven space đŸ˜€

        Oh the struggle is real, I have one veg loving kid and the other can spot a speck of green from 1/2 a mile away!!! Luckily he is a big salad fan!

      There's kind of a love/hate thing going on with carrots in my house. Half the family loves them -- the other half can't stand them... I'm in the "pro" camp and definitely want to make this recipe.

      We love raw carrots and I honestly never think to cook them. Thanks for breaking me out of this

        My youngest is a raw carrot fan too. Well he was, but he is at that age where his teeth are getting wobbly and falling out, so the crunchy veg aren't his favorite at the moment.
        He does enjoy them cooked still. I hope you do too.
