Wow these carrots look delicious! I usually cook my carrots with butter and brown sugar, but will definitely have to try the balsamic vinegar. Yum!

Made these tonight and they were GREAT! Thanks for a quick, tasty recipe. I think next time I may add 1 small clove of minced garlic to the balsamic as a bit of experiment…though these are absolutely delicious as they are!

Isn’t it amazing how one little ingredient can make such a difference. Balsamic vinegar and even better, a nice balsamic reduction,can do wonders.
