I hope you try this recipe out. It’s delicious and has a kick of heat that is perfect for cold weather. Let me know if you try this recipe out. I added the sugar because my carrots were a bit bitter so feel free to take out the sugar or any other spice you don’t enjoy. I personally love all the spices. Have a lovely day my friends!
