Instructions

Prep:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon zest, juice, vinegar, maple syrup, and water until combined. 
Cook the carrots:

  1. Add the chopped garlic, carrots, green peas, spinach, and lemon juice mixture to the potatoes. Stir to combine and continue to cook until the spinach wilts. 
  2. Remove from heat and stir in ½ tablespoons butter and fresh tarragon. 

Notes

  • Don't have fresh tarragon? Substitute it with 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, dried basil, or herbs de provance.
