Spicy Cinnamon Carrots
A little spicy and subtle sweet, try this recipe for a nice summer treat!
Its insane the flavor of fresh carrots from the farmers market. A lot of recipes for carrots often include honey or maple syrup but I think that the sweetness of the carrots is perfect and enhanced naturally by the cinnamon and coconut oil. Pairs awesome with creamy dill dressing (recipe coming soon). I hope you all are enjoying the summer bounty!
