So delicious and colorful…the mint added the perfect flavor! My dinner guests were raving about what a wonderful Spring dish this was! So easy and will be a go-to recipe from now on!
Easy & delicious!
Excellent! I recommend this recipe wholeheartedly. In fact, I often do a half-carrots/half-asparagus combo with this. Exquisite!
OMG this was SO GOOD!!! You could put this sauce on shoe leather and I would eat it. I think it’s the honey that makes it so good. It was too hot to turn on the oven so I did it in a saute pan and it turned out fantastic.
Yuck…. way too sweet. Just like every other carrot recipe where you pour some form of sugar over the top
I have had lackluster results making carrots taste good, but this is my fave so far, and effortless. I bump the temp up to 425/450 and turn them over halfway thru. The oven does the rest.
The colored carrots are somewhat hard to find, but even with regular carrots, it was easy and delicious.
Made these to go with our Easter dinner. People said it was their favorite dish. I didn’t have mint, but I don’t think it was needed.
I fixed this for Easter dinner to go with the ham my daughter in law fixed. It was a big hit
Definitely gets put my recipe book.
