another winning veggie recipe I'm on the hunt for tasty veggie recipes to spice up meal time side-dishes, and this one definitely hit the mark! Very quick, very easy and very delicious. I served them next to the EatingWell twice-baked potatoes, but I agree that they would go with just about anything. I left out the cilantro because it tastes like soap, and the carrots were just fine without it. This does need to be eaten fresh out of the oven, or they get mushy fast, and means leftovers are no-good, so eat up!

Delicious carrots! Great recipe! Quick and tasty, even with carrots that aren't the best. Had some bland ones and did them up this way, and they were great!
