Put in a pot with a little some water and let cook until they are just tender. Drain the water and add some margerine and some brown sugar. Let this cook on low heat for about 5 minutes and the margerine and brown sugar will make a glaze for them.

Answer 4

Depends on how you like your veggies. I cook a 16 ounce package of raw, peeled baby carrots like this.
Boil the carrots until about half done, reduce the liquid until it just covers the bottom of the pan, add 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, a teaspoon of allspice and a heaping tablespoon of margarine. I then cover them and cook on medium until soft.

Answer 6

My favourite way -- steam them or boil them in some water, just for 5 minutes until they're still a bit crisp. Then, toss them in a little butter and honey. Yum!

Answer 8

dice a little onion.. get some chardonny, a tad of old bay... (or you don't have to just keep the chardonny) and steam them gently for a couple of minutes with the chardonny...

and you'll get something very nice tasting... and still crunchy.

:D

or you can roast them with peppers and kidney beans with some chardonny, garlic... and it's just as nice if not moreso.

:D
