This side dish was a bit different from those I've had before as the carrots were thinly sliced. Aside from the time required to thinly slice the carrots, this dish was extremely quick and easy to make. I loved the sweet ginger flavored glaze on the carrots! My husband and daughter however, did not care for the ginger. Next time, I'll make half without ginger and the other half with ginger which should satisfy all at our table. I would recommend this recipe to anyone that enjoys the flavor of ginger.

This recipe really wasn't that great for me. I usually love ginger, but I found the ginger way too overpowering for me. The glaze came right off my carrots and I couldn't even taste the butter or brown sugar. I felt like I was just eating carrots and ginger. This sounded promising, but it's just not the recipe for me.
