This is an easy and tasty side dish. It could probably use some sort of spice to perk up the flavors even more, but I don't know which one.

Changed the recipe a little based on what I had on hand. Used 1/2 bag baby carrots. Skipped the onions and snowpeas (didn't have any). Doubled the ingredients for the sauce. Cooked the carrots 3 minutes in the microwave (with no water). I put the unmelted butter, cornstarch and brown sugar in a microwave safe bowl and heated it for 30 seconds. Poured it over the carrots, tossed to coat and microwaved the carrots for another minute. It was so quick and easy and everyone loved it. Will DEFINITELY make again!

Like others, I omitted snow peas (I even had a few), increased the quantity to serve 10, and cooked the carrots on the stove (about 15 minutes from being put on the stove with cold water at med-high heat). I then made the glaze (into which I incorporated the green onion) in a pyrex cup in the microwave which I then tossed with the drained cooked carrots. I made a bit ahead and warmed in the microwave before serving. They were delicious. The green onion offered a nice bit of contrast both in taste and color. For the record, 2 pounds of small to medium carrots peeled and lightly trimmed made just shy of 5 cups of sliced carrots. I sliced on the diagonal.

These were wonderful. I served them with slow cooker pepper steak. They were an excellent accompaniment to my meal! I didn't use the microwave method. I just boiled the carrots until I thought they were almost done then I added the peas for a couple of minutes. The sauce was excellent and not too sweet.

These are so quick to make and absolutely delicious! They remind me of the vegetables, in a bag at the store, with a light butter glaze. I leave out the onions and pepper. I believe the green onions would dominate the vegetable flavor and make them less versatile. I do double the water with the carrots and then add at least 2 Tblsp. of water once the snow peas are added. It still is a small enough amount that they are only steaming. When using fresh snow peas, which I recommend, I just add another minute onto the cooking time after they are added. I have tried this with carrots cut different ways and with frozen defrosted string beans. Both are good!
