"Ahh...yum! I love these carrots! Go ahead...double or triple this! Add more garlic or sugar if you want! You can even do it ahead of time and just warm it up in the skillet before everyone sits down. Our favorite way to eat carrots!"

This was a unique flavor. I left out the sugar because I don't keep it in the house - and I don't think it needed it. My husband, however, didn't like the addition of the almonds. I'll leave them out next time.

This is easy, quick and delicious! Assuming you have the carrots to start with, the short ingredient list includes staples that almost everyone has on hand, so there's not a lot of special shopping to do, which I thought was a big plus. I sauteed the carrots over a somewhat lowish-medium flame a few minutes longer than the recipe called for, and got beautiful caramelization. To my astonishment, my husband said, "You should have made more carrots." (!!) I will definitely make this again.

Great simple recipe! I exchanged pecans for the almonds because my husband's severe allergy. Thanks!

Yum! This was really good! I did add the sugar, but feel as though you could of done without, my little carrots from the garden must of been really sweet and tender on their own. I subbed walnuts for the almonds, and just used a smaller portion sprinkled on top. A great recipe for lovely carrots ~ one to enjoy for a long time to come~ Made for Pick A Chef Fall 2012

The flavor of this was okay but thought that there is too much butter. Also, the carrots cook too long for our liking. It is a bright, colorful dish and the almonds do add a nice texture.
