Balsamic Basil Carrots

We really enjoyed this for dinner and I couldn't find a recipe quite like it on recipezaar. This was lovely with ham and a salad. From a Weight Watcher's cookbook. Each serving is 1 point.

I think I would usually rate this a 3 or 4. I didn't think it was awesome, but it was good. Directions were easy. I just don't think my family likes cooked carrots very much, and I served it with Recipe #33058 (I know, weird choice), so it was definitely overshadowed. I might make this again with a roast or something to get a more accurate picture of the flavor.Reply

Very tasty! I made this as a side dish with dinner last night and it was very yummy! I will definitely save this recipe for future use. I love coked carrots and it's nice to find a recipe that's not sweet (although I love maple glaze carrots!) Sweet just doesn't go well with everything. This made a great side to a sausage pasta bake & fresh sourdough bread.Reply
