Let’s make Golden Carrot Coins!
Top of the morning to you, is a greeting that usually makes people think of Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day. On St. Patrick’s Day, some people like to wear green and search for leprechauns and their gold. What recipes do leprechauns like to make for St. Patrick’s Day dinner?
Today my friend Finnegan is bringing some gold to us! He’s sharing his delicious St. Patrick’s Day recipe for Golden Carrot Coins. This recipe uses roasted carrots and a little bit of orange juice and honey. Roasted vegetables turn brown at their edges and taste sweeter after roasting. This is called caramelization. Roasted vegetables are also easier to cut for cooks who are just learning to use a kitchen knife. Both carrots and oranges are full of Vitamin A which is very good for keeping your eyes healthy. Just remember, you have to eat bright colors to see bright colors!
P.S.- Finnegan says that when someone says, “Top of the Morning to You,” a leprechaun might reply by saying, “And the rest of the day to yourself!”
