The Great Carrot Debate

One of my husband's favorite foods are carrots, and I just think they are ok but still would like to eat more. The problem is, we can't agree on how to prepare them. He really like raw carrots and I'm used to eathing them from a can, cooked, and covered with salt and butter. I just really don't like the flavor of raw carrots and and my husband loves the falvor of a raw carrot and the crunch!

So, I have finally found a way to prepare carrots in a way we both like! The carrots are slightly cooked, but still hold a little crunch of a raw carrot, and the flavors slightly cover the taste of a raw carrot.
