The orange-color baby carrots are so inviting, oven roasted with maple syrup, butter and seasoned with only salt and ground black pepper. They are so simple but still hit the spot.
They are absolutely scrumptious. This is an excellent side dish to have for any meals and I guarantee you that everyone would love these baby carrots. Enjoy!

Real (clear) maple syrup like from Vermont, or maple flavored syrup that is mostly for pancakes? Either way – I’m planning to make this recipe soon!
Thank you so much for sharing – these look delicious!
I make something similar to this, except I add cinnamon and cardamom powder. If you have those on hand the next time, they really take the carrots over the top!
Wow, thanks for your suggestion I will have to try it out!!

I recently wanted a good recipt for macaroni salad and remembered when I lived in Hawaii how I love the macaroni salad that they served with there take out orders at a local place called “Zippy’s”. I took my chances and found someone who says that this is the one from there. I used it and it was good. Its been a long time (28 years) since I have had the macaroni salad from Zippy’s, but since it was good, I thought I would share it with you. The link for the website is below.
Enjoy!! Aloha!
