This is a quick and delicious sidedish and I really loved them. Donna Hay, the creator of the recipe, used heirloom carrots but I could only find the orange ones, so that is what I used… And well, considering the time of year it would be a nice snack during any football match or mid-afternoon.

It would be nice if they would also use US measurements. I don’t know what gr is?
He Linda. Gr is short for grams. You can find conversions to US measurements on my site here http://insimoneskitchen.com/conversions/ or otherwise there are a lot of conversion programs online… Hope this works!
