    • Reviews

  • “Quick and easy to make. Loved the flavours. The cinnamon is a nice touch without being overpowering. I must admit to using orange and mango juice instead of just orange juice as it was all I had. It was really good though and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. I cut my carrots into sticks. Great recipe, enjoyed by all.”

  • “These carrots are simply delicious!They were so very easy to make and added a special flair to our meal.I made them on top of the stove instead of in the microwave and made the sauce separately. What an incredibly scrumptious way to serve carrots!Thanks, Lennie for another keeper!”

  • “Oh these were such good carrots!!! I served them with pot roast and a salad.I made no changes, but wish that the sauce was thicker, so next time I may add more cornstarch.We will have these again soon! Thanks for sharing.”

  • ” A great way to make carrots. The cinnamon is a perfect addition! I doubled the recipe and and I also ended up subbing Sunny Delight instead of the Orange Juice, but it tasted fine anyway. I think next time I will add a bit more cornstarch as already suggested. Thanks for posting this, I’ll be making this one again! “

  • “This was very easy to make and turned out great in the microwave!! My husband loved this recipe, but for me there was just something about it that made it just okay…it might have been that it was too sweet to have with dinner. I’d make it again occasionally, but for me it’s not one of those things you can have all the time. I did like the fact that you couldn’t really taste the carrots…I’m not a huge carrot person!! It is definitely a recipe to try out and if you are like me and don’t love it, it is at least very easy to make so you won’t feel as though you wasted your time.”

  • “Very fast and easy and the 2-yr-old liked it. Next time I might use less starch because it was kind of gummy and perhaps reduce the sugar, but this was good and we had no leftovers. It’s nice to find a smaller sized recipe.”

  • “Quick & tasty!!!! i used1/2 brown sugar. YUM Amy:-)”

  • “Too sweet for my taste, but the cooked firmness of the carrots was nice.”

  • “These were good.I would maybe add more carrots or reduce the amount of glaze next time.It was a nice change and the carrots stayed crunchy.”

  • “Very Quick and easy!I found it to be a little too much orange juice and the sauce didn’t thicken at all.Not sure why..”

  • “My husband and 4 yr. old loved these carrots!I didn’t care for the touch of cinnamon (but, I’m not much of a cooked carrot fan anyway).My 2 yr. old turned up his nose, but he’s two, so that explains a lot.”

  • “I cook most of my vegies in the microwave, so this foot the bill very nicely. I did cut back the brown sugar to 2 tblsp. as I thought it would be a bit to sweet. Delicious.”

  • “I fix this dish every Thanksgiving.Everyone loves it!!”

  • “I’m sorry, but I did not care for this. I didn’t like the texture of the carrots, and there was too much sauce.”
