my boyfriend doesnt like carrots much unless they are cooked -tried this but i think it could use some more of the syrup and less catalina. needs to be a little more sweet.

I almost always make carrots this way. I use splenda and sugar free syrup to keep it lighter and it tastes every bit as yummy! Sometimes I just add some cinnamon istead of the syrup. Makes my kids eat their carrots!

We enjoyed this very much and I will take it to the next pot luck at church. I changed the syrup and brown sugar so they weren't so much sugar and used sugar free.

I was a little unsure about this recipe, but it turned out really good. The dressing and nuts add good flavor to the carrots.

Gives the carrots a tangy sweet taste. The pecans complete this dish with a light crunch!

It was an alright recipe. Not my favorite but, my 2 kids liked it. I thought about using just maple syrup and some brown sugar instead of adding the Catalina dressing. It just made it a little bitter for my liking.
