Interesting to see carrots served with lime and not orange. I love it. Also, your herbs and spices are a great addition. Carrots are so good for us....it's wonderful to see new and different ways to eat them. Thanks, Erica!

Coincidentally, I was thinking I hadn't made a side dish spotlighting carrots in a long time so on Monday I made something similar to your carrots only using honey, ground coriander seeds and a dash of cumin instead. I really like the acid from the lime here though and will definitely try this soon.

Carrots and lime, I wouldn't have paired those two in my mind but now that I've seen it, it makes sense to me. Love that dish, so cute!
