Cooking Baby Carrots

Cooking baby carrots is very much like cooking "regular" carrots and just as with full-size carrots, you can add them to any of your favorite dishes. Stewed, steamed etc.; just chop the baby carrots and add them with corn as a side dish, if desired (the two go great together!).

• Baby carrots may be crunchy and sweet raw, but try plunging them into boiling water and cooking them 15 to 20 minutes, until fork-tender.
• When you are ready to serve them, reheat them with a little butter and brown sugar, and maybe some grated orange peel for added elegance. It totally changes the character.
