Recipe: Baby minted carrots
Recipe: Baby minted carrotsDietitian's tip: Carrots are an excellent source of beta carotene, which is converted by the body into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A helps maintain vision and promotes the growth of healthy cells and tissues. Carrots also contain lutein, which is thought to protect the retina. One serving of this recipe provides twice the estimated daily requirement for vitamin A. Serves:
6

In a separate saucepan over moderate heat, combine the apple juice and cornstarch. Stir until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mint and cinnamon. Pour the apple juice mixture over the carrots. Serve immediately. Nutritional Analysis (per serving)
