14 days of Aphrodisiac Dishes -#10 Canadian Maple-Glazed Carrots
Also called a philtron, by the Greeks, which translates to “love potion”. Carrots are high in Beta-carotene and vitamin A.
In Ancient Greece, carrots were used in a drink to intensify sexuality. Sorry, I don’t have their love potion recipe, but, I have many others including this powerful antioxidant.
Here is a quick and easy one.
I tried these carrots the first time I visited Canada.
It was an amazing experience. What was that white fluffy thing on the streets? Snow. For the first time in my life, I saw, touched and even tasted the snow.
There was this little restaurant in Winnipeg, MB, which name I don’t remember, they welcomed me with warm sweet carrots. Carrots and maple syrup. I got hooked! Hooked to carrots, maple syrup and snow. 
What’s not to love about maple syrup? Now, add carrots, and you’ll see what I mean. There is not need to wait for a snowy day to enjoy this aphrodisiac delicacy.
Canadian Maple-Glazed Carrots
That’s it. Just a few ingredients.
Peel and cut the carrots into ¼ inch thick rounds.
Place the carrots in a shallow saucepan, and cover with salted water. Boil until crisp-tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Drain well.
Heat a skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter and olive oil.
Then the carrots.
Add the maple syrup and the orange juice. Stir.
Sprinkle with the cinnamon, black pepper and just a teaspoon of sugar, stir again.
Cook until the juices are reduced to a glaze.
Bon Appétit!

I have to say that I’m surprised that something so healthy can taste so gooood!
I can just taste the mashed potatoes and barbecue with it.
Carrots, who knew? I have always loved glazed carrots but must say my carrot recipes are a bit lacking. This one looks divine! Must try it! Great post. Have a great day.

I would never think carrots area is an aphrodisiac dish. I love this recipe. I was actually looking for this recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for checking out my site! Love your recipes – I recently made roasted vegetables with maple syrup and loved it. Having maple syrup drizzled over butternut squash is fantastic!
Looks like a recipe you’d come back to as an all time favorite, for the rest of your life.

The combination of carrots and maple syrup is one of my absolute favourites! Plus, as a Nova Scotian I can’t go anywhere without bumping into one or both. I love the added sweet tang of the orange juice.
