Simple side dishes don’t have to only come from the canned food aisle of the grocery store. This quick & easy glazed carrot recipe features fresh baby carrots cooked on the stove top until perfectly tender and bathed in a buttery ranch seasoned sauce. Ranch glazed carrots make a perfect addition to the dinner menu, but are also good cold- making them perfect for packed lunches.

I swear, Pinterest can be my best friend, or my worst enemy.

Just depends on the day.

I’m always coming across a recipe here, a recipe there that I know, I just know, has to be dinner tonight.

And I’m cooking so I get to make what I want, right?

But later, usually while I’m pulling out ingredients, that rational part of my brain starts functioning again.

It then usually reminds me that dinner needs to be more.

I actually have to make sides and stuff.

Not just the 5-star main dish I had my heart set on.

Bummer.

Carrots and ranch area a match made in heaven, so I thought ‘these have to be amazing, right?!’ 

What’s better than having the flavors you love from your favorite dressing in an easy to make side dish that’ll have you wanting to eat your veggies? 

These are a perfect summer side, well in our opinion, they’re really good anytime of the year.

Just five minutes (5 minutes!) is all you need to make this savory-sweet buttery ranch glaze for these simple cooked carrots.
