Carrot Crazy!

I wanted to make a non-starchy side dish to go with tonight's chicken meatballs, so I turned to the two pound bag of organic, colored carrots from Trader Joe's that I had in the fridge. I have been having yummy success with zucchini noodles, so I used a spiralizer on the brightly colored carrots, and they were a huge success!! I loved that the kids had a yummy dinner of protein and veggies, but they felt like they were eating oodles of noodles!! Try for yourself!!

INGREDIENTS 

2 pounds of carrots, peeled and then spiralized or julienned 

1 tablespoon butter, coconut oil, olive oil or combo (I actually used organic Melt from Costco which is a buttery spread made from coconut oil)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Sea salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Melt the fat of your choice and add the carrots. 

Sauté for 2 minutes then sprinkle in the sugar, salt and pepper.

Sauté 2-3 more minutes until soft.

Eat and enjoy!!
