Maple Carrots

This is the most delicious side dish. Whenever I make this I have to TRIPLE the recipe and there is never a left over carrot.  

This recipe is great anytime of year, but it is a staple at the Holiday.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

6 medium carrots peeled and chopped

1/2 c low sodium organic chicken broth or vegetable broth

2 tablespoons organic maple syrup

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat

Add the carrots, stir and cook for 5 minutes

Add broth, maple syrup, salt and pepper

Cover the pan and reduce heat, let simmer 15-20 minutes or until carrots tender

Uncover, increase heat to medium high and cook 2-3 more minutes or until sauce reduces and thickens by half.    Salt and pepper to taste.
