Carrot Sauté with Maple Syrup and Coconut Oil
I saw this carrot sauté with maple syrup and coconut oil recipe on Simply Scratch and had to make it. The delicious crisp-tender carrots were perfectly flavored with a bit of sweetness from the maple syrup and a hint of coconut from the oil. This easy side dish paired nicely with mushroom, bacon, and herb-stuffed pork tenderloin and a kale sauté with roasted butternut squash, dried cranberries, and pecans. We all loved these carrots, especially my kids.

This looks so delicious!
I usually make my carrots with honey or brown sugar, depending upon what I have handy, but maple syrup sounds like a delicious alternative!
What a great recipe for carrots. All those additions look so delicious.

I use coconut oil for my mushrooms, will give it a go when next I cook carrots 🙂
Carrots are definitely WAY underused in my kitchen. Love that this is both sweet and savory!
