Step 1
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin, diagonal rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil.
Step 3
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed carrots and grapes to a serving dish.
