This nourishing and satisfying side dish is a real crowd-pleaser at my Thanksgiving dinner table, glazed with the perfect balance of flavors. A tiny bit of maple syrup, along with dijon and my Vegitude POWER Spice blend go a long way in making these carrots a standout in both presentation and flavor. A must try!
