Eric and I love carrots. This is a good thing since they’re a much cheaper vegetable than some of our other favorites like asparagus and bell peppers. This year I wanted to come up with a few more affordable Thanksgiving side dishes. I’ve been doing a lot with the food bank and talking to their clients about using special ingredients in small amounts to turn ordinary foods into fancy dishes. These Maple Orange Carrots with Sage are a great example, and go amazingly with roast turkey or chicken!I have to start out by saying that pancake syrup and maple syrup are NOT the same thing. Pancake syrup is basically corn syrup, pure processed sugary junk food. Maple syrup is nothing but sap from a maple tree that’s been boiled. It’s pure and delicious.
