I made this for 2 servings and on reading the other reviews, decided to dice the carrots. We did happily add the sugar as many-a-wonderful carrot recipes are glazed with honey or some type of sweetener. Fresh carrots are yummy raw, steamed, and even sweetened. That said, this recipe is a nice side dish. We feel the green onion was a bit overpowering, and next time perhaps would use just 1 shallot clove for a full 6 servings. Overall, a nice recipe.

I wasn't feeling well so tasked DH with making these. He doesn't cook much and strayed from the recipe but was still good. He put the carrots in the food processor so they were a bit small and used regular onion instead of green onion. I loved that the carrots didn't get mushy and was a good and different veggie to have with dinner. I will try these again shredded and with green onion.

123 Hit Wonders 2008 ~ I liked this but I don't think DH was too keen on the carrots being shredded. I halved the recipe but think that the recipe could do without the sugar as carrots are already sweet enough. Would like to try this again but thinly slice the carrots and leave out the sugar.
