For some reason people neglect this recipe and I don’t know why. Maybe because it’s just too simple. You just cut some carrots, throw them in the oven, get them out and eat them.
I mean, the only thing that is easier to do is to eat them raw. But, don’t think just because it’s so simple it has nothing to offer! You will be surprised, I know I was. The overall flavor is simply amazing. They came out so good I started eating them one by one without anything on the side.
A little advice though. Use young carrots, they have more flavor and are juicier. If you don’t find any, than you’ll have to thinly slice the older carrots in order for them to cook properly and be succulent.
