Sweet Creamy Carrots
Don’t be tempted to use more water in the beginning. You’re really steaming the carrots and want to retain all the nutrients. Some carrots are naturally sweeter than others so taste for sweetness and add extra sugar at the end if needed. - Jenny Jones

Have you tried this the French way, where after steaming them you blend them to a puree blend in a light table spoon of light brown sugar, then add butter in a fry pan and cook until hot with the butter melted into the puree carrots.
Would love to have Your creamy carrot recipe with sugar ! PLEASE 😱🎯☝️
Would this work in the Microwave?
Looks to me like it would… : )
I must have missed the sugar part but I’m assuming people know to sprinkle it on there or put it in the water did I miss that
Oops, thanks for the note. I have adjusted the recipe.
Made this for potluck,. It was gone quickly.
