Meatless Monday – Sautéed Carrots with Garam Masala and Brown Sugar

I found this great bag of assorted organic carrots at Trader Joes, and wanted to make something simple the twins (almost 2) and I could enjoy with our lunch that was a step above ordinary cooked carrots. I love carrots with brown sugar, but I was really in the mood for something more on the savory side with just a hint of sweetness – garam masala to to the rescue! These totally hit the spot, and they are easy to make. Enjoy!
