Maple Glazed Carrots

This side dish is one of the quickest and easiest dishes to put together!

The ingredients are probably all staple pantry items, and everyone has carrots tucked away in the refrigerator for soups and salads, so you can pull this together in no time flat!

The flavors are complimentary to any meat you might prepare!

As Always, 

ENJOY!

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of a large sauté pan. Toss in 2 bunches of carrots, tops trimmed and cut on the bias into 3-inch pieces. Coat in olive oil then season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pan and melt, tossing the carrots until well coated. Add 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard, ¼ cup of maple syrup and 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, stirring to coat. Continue to sauté for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the carrots are slightly tender but still crunchy and the sauce has thickened to a glaze. Remove the carrots from the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh mint over top.
