Carrots

... Those crunchy sweet, crispy roots that are loved by all. Whether whole or baby, cooked or raw, in a cake or on top of a salad, carrots are

remarkable!

Ok.... This carrot... Not so yummy.

Packed with Beta-carotene and Vitamin A, carrots are a great and versatile way to give your body a nutritious boost... And yes... They can improve night vision.

The dining hall will occasionally have cooked carrots, but I have noticed that they are usually mushy or freezer burnt. We need to give carrots the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. they deserve! Even carrots need to be sassed up a bit! So, here's a recipe to get you out of that carrot and ranch dressing rut.

Microwave Maple Ginger Carrots

What You Need:

1/2 cup of thinly sliced carrot rounds (found on the salad bar)

2 T Maple Syrup

2 T Orange Juice

1 tsp butter

a pinch of salt

Ginger to your liking

1. Mix the maple syrup, orange juice, butter, salt and ginger in a bowl.

2. Then toss your carrots into the yummy juice

3. Microwave for 2 minutes or until the carrots are soft

Yup! It is THAT EASY to update your carrots!
