Creamy Sweet Carrots

Teresa Ambra
Creamy Sweet Carrots are heavenly. This easy recipe uses only 5 ingredients and can be whipped up in about 15-20 minutes. It's perfect for weeknight dinners when you need to prepare a quick side dish. But it's delicious enough to serve for company or holiday meals. Gluten free.
