Tangy Orange-Maple Carrots

This is one of my favorite things! Sweet, sour, and salty.  It takes about five minutes to make and can be served with many things.  Makes a generous amount of dressing.

Sautee in hot cast iron skillet for about 2 minutes:

1/4 Cup Grapeseed Oil
3 Large Carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 Onion, thinly sliced (optional)
(this is yummy to do in a pan after you've fried ham or bacon!)

Add:
1 c. Orange Juice
1/4 c. Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tsp. Maple Syrup
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder

Simmer about 5 minutes until carrots are just tender.  Serve warm carrots and dressing over a bed of spinach with bacon on the side!  Tonight I'm enjoying it as above and adding in a helping of brown rice and quinoa! Mmm...
