We loved these. They had an actual glaze on them with caramelized flavor. The ginger flavor was subtle and just right and the sweetness was not sugary, but also, just right. Thanks for sharing-

Great carrots. Very simple and flavorful. I used baby carrots and added lots of ginger because I love it. Thanks Mikekey for a great keeper. Made for ZWT8 - Great Britain.

I loved these. Best carrots I have ever eaten. I had to cook in 2 layers so they would be in single layer. Made for ZWT8.

I couldn't get a pound of carrots in a single layer on the bottom of my largest pot, so I ended up stirring them around instead of flipping them. It took about 10 minutes for them to cook al dente. Cutting them on the diagonal made them look fancy and it wasn't any harder than cutting them into rounds. The flavor was great. For ZWT8
