With the right combination of spices, ordinary carrots become a stunning holiday side dish for meat. Slice them thinly on the diagonal and sauté them in butter, pumpkin pie spice, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar until all the slices are coated with a glossy, spicy glaze with hints of caramel. The highlight of this side dish is the toasted pumpkin seeds. They infuse the soft carrots with a delicious, contrasting crunch.
