Pumpkin Spice Carrots

Pumpkin spice is all the rage and it’s a sign that fall is finally on the way. It’s too tasty to just add to pastries and coffees, so I figured, why not add a little pumpkin spice to dinner?

The carrots are coated in a brown sugar glaze to help enhance their natural  sweetness. Adding in a sprinkle or two of pumpkin spice, amps up the yum factor. 

To the kids they are knows as candy carrots. Whatever you want to call them, kids will gobble them up. This is one time you won’t have to remind anyone to eat your vegetables.
