Baked Carrots

I used this photo of fresh carrots since the baked ones are not as attractive.

Bob loves baked or roasted carrots, he can wax poetic about them if you ask.
Baking brings out all their natural sweetness.
He likes to have them leftover in the fridge as snacks. Lately I have been indulging him ;-)

One vendor at our farmer's had the fancy carrots shown in the photo above. In fact those are the only ones I could find last week at the farmer's market so that's what I used, any fresh carrots will work.

1) Preheat the oven to 400 F.
2) Line a rimmed baking  sheet with foil and spray with olive oil.
3) Wash and stem the carrots.
4) Place them on the baking sheet and spray lightly with more olive oil, salt and pepper them.

5) Bake for 45-60 minutes depending on the size of the carrot. Part way through the baking time, I roll them over with tongs. They should be soft when pierced with a fork.
6) Serve warm or store in the fridge as snacks or use them in other dishes, like soups or curries.

They aren't terribly attractive once they are baked...but they sure taste good !!
