The DM, DS and I really enjoyed this as a side with recipe #276605 though I did not add the salt (personal preference) and as I don't know what orange juice concentrate is I used orange juice but would add zest next time too, to give it more depth of flavour. thank you Taste Tester, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 11.

Nice and easy carrots. I did add a bit of fresh ginger to give it zing, but otherwise made it exactly as written. Made a nice side dish to a Asian inspired wild rice salad for a perfect vegetarian meal. THANKS!
