Great swap for candied yams with 3g more fiber and 1/3 the calories, especially for those interested in blood sugar control, weight loss, or cholesterol lowering support*. This recipe makes a healthier alternative to traditional candied yams.
Place carrots into a steamer for about 10-12 minutes or until fork tender. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together salt, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the oil and turn into a paste. Let the steamed carrots sit to cool, then place on a parchment- or tinfoil- lined baking sheet. Using well washed or gloved hands, rub the brown paste all over the carrots. Bake for 7 minutes. Garnish right before serving, and enjoy!
