Lemon Pepper Carrots

Lemon Pepper Carrots are the perfect easy side dish that even the pickiest of eaters will love. This was one of my favorite ways to eat veggies growing up, and I still love them to this day. 

When we were cleaning out the garden to get ready for spring planting, we found a big basket full of carrots we had forgotten about. For me, there is no better surprise than forgotten veggies that are still good to eat. 

I love to eat carrots all kinds of ways, so I cleaned up my basket full, and decided to cook them two different ways. One sweet dish, and one savory. If you love a good sweet carrot like me, you will also have to try the most popular recipe on the blog, my Maple Brown Sugar Carrots.

But for now, we will be cooking our Lemon Pepper Carrots in a more savory, yet equally delicious way. There is just something about the spice from the pepper, and the tang from the lemon that makes these irresistible. 

Growing up, my mom would cook these Lemon Pepper Carrots as a side dish with chicken and potatoes. Yum. My biggest tip for these, is to cook them until they start to shrivel a little. I like everything cooked extra done, but when these carrots get slightly brown on the edges they are perfection.
