Spring Vegetable Medley with Garlic and Fresh Thyme

One of our favorite ways to enjoy Garlic Gold® is on simply-prepared vegetables. It adds so much flavor and a pop of crunch. For our Recipe of the Week, we’ve prepared a quick side dish of pearl onions, peas, and multi-colored carrots with fresh thyme. It’s so pretty and adds a riot of color to your spring dinner table!
