This recipe is an adaptation of one found in Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. My favorite section of this cookbook is when she describes each vegetable and then gives numerous simple ways to prepare each one. I have changed the sweetener and replaced the butter with avocado oil.
I love having a few simple ways to cook the same vegetable. Try out my Orange-y Carrot Jewels Recipe if you are looking for another way to cook carrots.
