ZESTY CARROTS



Zesty Carrots image

This is an easy-to-make family favorite and has always been served as a side dish at our Thanksgiving dinners. Don't let the horseradish scare you. It merely adds a tangy flavor. You can use pre-made bread crumbs to make it even easier. Light mayo works fine and so does cooking spray on the casserole dish in place of butter.

I'm always on the lookout for unusual recipes that are easy to make, and this is certainly one of those! A cooking teacher in the trade school I attended introduced me to Zesty Carrots. If you're a gardener, this would be a good way to use up a bumper crop of carrots! They're so tasty they might even make carrot lovers out of people who aren't "fans" of them now.

CHEESY AND ZESTY CARROTS



Cheesy and Zesty Carrots image

I got this recipe from a little booklet entitled "Prize-Winning Vegetable Dishes". It is just like a dish I have made for years, although I didn't add the cheese - it just didn't occur to me! Tender carrots are cooked in a zesty sauce loaded with gooey cheese. Mmmmmm! This is great with or without the cheese! Add the horseradish to your taste - more or less, but 1 tablespoon is good to start with, if you are not sure:)
