Sweet carrots are easily made from canned carrots. Brown sugar improves the taste of the carrots, as well as adding an interesting texture to the meal. Some people like to have a little sweet with sour so they might like sweet carrots beside turnip greens with vinegar on them. Although adding sugar will make it difficult for some people such as diabetics to eat them, they make a nice treat. In some cases, for gluten intolerance, sweet carrots may be the easiest dessert to be made by a family member who doesn't know how to cook gluten free desserts.
