I added grated ginger root and lemon zest, and used just 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar for 1 pound baby carrots. While the carrots were draining I mixed the sauce up in the same pot, then added the carrots back in to finish. Lovely and quick!
The carrots were perfectly cooked and had a nice subtle flavor. The mint sprinkled over the top looked pretty but didn't give the dish much extra taste.
