Carrot Noodles

Thats right! Embrace the weirdness, this is happening. 

Most everyone i know enjoys carrots cooked in honey. A wonderful side dish! This is pretty much the same, only you shave the carrot in strips with a vegetable peeler. (Or be fancy and use a mandolin)


Pile the strips into a saucepan, add 2-3 tablespoons of honey and 2-3 tablespoons of water.
Cook on low, stirring occasionally to coat, until carrots are limp and noodly, 3-5 min. Add a pinch of salt (or two-three turns of the salt grinder). 
Serve warm.
Gorgeous!

There are probably loads of different ways to use strips of carrot. Two come to mind:

Use as "noodles". Cook them in milk instead of honey (gets rid of the bitter carrotty flavor), drain. Pour a tomato or cream based sauce over. Yum! Vegan/vegetarian.

Alternately, you could spray oil on (sprinkle a little salt) and roast them in the oven to make carrot "chips" or "fries".
