I came up with this side dish for Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit. Now it has a place at our holiday table as well as impromptu get-togethers with family and friends. âDiana Morrison Poole, Rock Hill, South Carolina Ingredients:
2 large sweet onions, sliced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 pounds fresh baby carrots, halved lengthwise |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup french-fried onions |
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook onions in oil over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently.
2. In a large bowl, combine the onions, carrots, salt and pepper; toss to combine. Transfer to a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 400° for 40-45 minutes or until tender.
3. Stir in syrup and butter. Sprinkle with french-fried onions and bacon. Bake, uncovered, 5 minutes longer or until fried onions are browned. Sprinkle with green onions. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 8 servings.
