The last months of the year are always a really busy time for everyone in our family. We have birthdays, Halloween parties, vacations and of course, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Normally, I like to start working on my Thanksgiving menu around the middle of October. But, here it is, almost Thanksgiving, and I am just trying to finalize my menu. We will definitely be having turkey, stuffing and twice baked mash potatoes, and a variety of appetizers and desserts. I always seem to forget about vegetables until the last minute. Because of that, I love a vegetable that is easy and delicious. These cinnamon glazed carrots are fantastic. It is easy to make, delicious and looks fancy enough for a holiday table.
For me, anything that streamlines my kitchen time on Thanksgiving Day is a bonus. You can prep your carrots, one or two nights ahead. Clean them, slice them up and then refrigerate them in a tightly sealed plastic storage bag. It’s one less thing to have to do on Thanksgiving morning.
You will love the taste of these Cinnamon Glazed Carrots. The cinnamon glaze gives them a beautiful finish and an amazing taste. Even the little ones won’t complain about eating these vegetables.
