Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Bring carrots, 2 Tbsp. sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring to separate carrots. Cook until carrots are soft, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced to a thick syrup (if syrup starts to color, reduce heat). Add several generous pinches of sugar, tossing constantly, then cook, tossing, until carrots are coated. Spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool.

  2. Separate carrots with your fingers and toss each piece in more sugar to coat.

Why this Candied Carrot Coins works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Candied Carrot Coins works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
