Such a simple idea-I can't believe how much tastier these are than plain baby carrots.

Sorry to say neither carrots nor beets are the best thing for diabetics. You may want to reconsider including this recipe in your diabetics' recipes.

I added a smidge of light raspberry vin. and used a salt grinder and it was great. Loved the taste of the sesame seeds.

This is a wonderful twist on a normally plain snack! And I do feel the need to correct a previous review - carrots are fine for diabetics. I should know - I have type one diabetes and I eat them all the time!

Does it matter if they are cooked or uncooked carrots?

Wonderful idea. Unfortunately, sesame seeds do not go well with braces. :-(
