Sweet Butter Carrots

Here's another carrot-only recipe.  This is on my list to make for my 7 year old niece Kelly who hates anything that tastes "green" or leafy, as she she describes.  Maybe once its softened and cooked in butter and sugar, she'll change her mind.

Since carrots are the most nutritious when steamed, steam your finger-sized carrots for 7-10 minutes.  Take the carrots out, and while they're still hot, toss them in a bowl with butter, brown sugar and a bit of salt and pepper.  It's fine served like this for a sweet dessert, but by all means, explore with your spices.  Some suggestions are pumpkin pie spice, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, clove, "taco seasoning," or cayenne pepper.
