Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes – until the carrots are just fork tender.

NOTE:  Don’t use the “baby” carrots in the bag.  They won’t taste as good.  They arent’ baby carrots at all, but old carrots that are no longer useful to sell as fresh.  They are cut into the “baby” shape, then soaked in a lye solution to kill all the bacteria that has started to grow on them.  They are then rinse, packaged and sold as “baby” carrots.

Serves 4-6
