Actually, my mom used to add a spoonful of sugar to most vegetables. Some people add honey. Either are okay with carrots. Have you ever tried sweet potato fries (sprinkled with sugar, not salt-- Beef O'Brady's has them)? Cook down sugar over veggies and it creates a candied effect.
Y'know, it's funny-- I was eating lunch the other day and realized the entire lunch was sweet: cola, PB%26amp;J uncrustable, cup of peaches, and a fudge round dessert cake. Yep, I have a major sweet tooth, too! Plus, I once ate one of those oriental dinners from a place in the nearest mall and everything from the meat to the rice to the veggies to the tea was sweet! Hey, you could do whole sweet oriental meals, too!
Anyway, have fun... and stay SWEET!

Things like pumpkin and squash are very sweet. Here are a couple examples:
Acorn Squash - cut in half, and remove seeds - roast in oven.
Season with butter, a little salt, and brown sugar.
Spaghetti Squash - same deal, or microwave in a casserole dish with some water, then once you have removed the spaghetti like flesh, toss in some brown sugar or maple syrup. Very good - like dessert!
Check online recipe sites for exact roasting times and such.
Good luck!
Butternut squash is to DIE for.
1 butternut squash
2-4 tbs butter(I like a lot but I know some people don't)
2 tbs brown sugar
Heat oven to 300
Cut sqaush in half length-wise
Arrange on baking pan flesh side up
Put 1-2 tbs butter on each half
Sprinkle with 1 tbs brown sugar on each half
Roast in oven until fork tender
Now, you can either mash or just scoop out pulp and eat as is. Maybe garnish with more butter and brown sugar. You could also cut sqaush into cubes and saute with butter and brown sugar instead of roasting. I'm absolutely certain you will LOVE this dish! :)
im guessing lemon juice or salt
.
Simmer carrots in a combination of brown sugar and butter. Yum! Or bake sweet potatoes and top with butter and brown sugar.
