Carrots with Shallots, Sage and Thyme is one of my all time favorite Thanksgiving recipes. I can’t remember where I found it — I’ve been referencing a magazine cutout for over a decade. But it’s a keeper.
A great holiday recipe or anytime you’re expecting a crowd. The recipe serves 8, but don’t hesitate to halve the quantities and enjoy it any night of the week.
The regular Earth Balance is soy based, but there is a soy-free product if you’re looking to avoid soy.
