Cranberry Carrots -- 2 Smart Points



 This recipe came from the Chickasaw Nation Nutrition Services food demonstration this week.  It's a different way to prepare carrots.  I plan on adding this to our Thanksgiving menu.

The Smart Points listed were calculated based on the ingredients I used.


CRANBERRY CARROTS
Makes 6 servings
Recipe total Smart Points 12
Smart Points per serving 2

1 lb. baby carrots, sliced lengthwise
¼ c. water
½ c. cranberry sauce
¼ c. pecans, roughly chopped and lightly toasted

In a large skillet over medium high heat, whisk together cranberry sauce and water until blended.
Add carrots and mix well.  Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Uncover and continue to cook for 5 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Top with pecans and serve.

**To toast pecans, spray a skillet with cooking spray, add pecans and stir over low heat until toasted.
