Although this tasty carrot side dish sounds posh and fancy, it is fast and easy to make. Kids will love it. The lemon-lime soda, chicken broth, and fresh dill weed really bring out the sweet flavor of the carrots. If you want to step it up a notch, try the Champagne Dill Carrots.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Tablespoons salad oil or butter
  • 4 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups 7-Up, Sprite or lemon-lime soda (not diet)
  • 1-1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into coin shapes
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill weed (or 1 tsp dried)

Preparation:

In a heavy saucepan, make a roux by combining the flour and oil or butter over medium heat. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring continuously. While stirring, add chicken broth, 7-Up, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring often, until thickened. Add carrots and cook about 10 minutes until tender. Stir in the dill weed and remove from heat. Serve warm.

Yield: 4 generous servings
