Leave out the garlic and add in a good sprinkling of ginger. Amazing! The only way I make cooked carrots – even kids eat them!
Substituted olive oil for the butter. Was quite good
Hi there! I’m using your recipe for thanksgiving. The ingredients list does not list the butter. How much butter? Thanks!
Hi Andrey, it should be 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sorry, I updated the recipe.
We have some cauliflower to use up tonight and wanted to do something different. This is a great idea and uses up what we have on hand. Thanks for the inspiration!
Photos are saying that, this recipe would be great for anybody! Thanks for sharing :-)
Totally this brown sugar roasted carrots are so good!
Would like to add cooked chicken breast with these colorful carrots and I would love this dish with plain white rice .
I think my oven runs a bit hot but I loved the browned crispy bits at the bottom of the pan. The carrots were delish. Definitely adding to my routine cooking. Thank you!
Thanks yes the brown bits are the best.
I love this idea!
