Ingredients

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 2 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup apple cider

1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Made these for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved them. I will definitely do them again -- and not just for the holidays!

Wonderful, easy and not too sweet - baked carrots!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My favorite way to prepare carrots is baked/roasted, so I thought why not? I poured a 2 lb. bag of baby carrots into the pan... and spooned half of the mixture on and tossed them. After 30 minutes in the oven, I spooned the rest of the mixture on them, tossed them again, and returned to the oven to finish baking. They were wonderful - not the usual sweet glazed carrots - with just enough sweet and a great surprise in the slightly spicy. They also heat up well as leftovers. I liked them so much that I brought them to Thanksgiving dinner with 15 friends and they all raved about them and wanted the recipe. Even my picky 76 year old father who "hates vegetables" went back for seconds and said he liked them (a huge compliment!). Another plus is the easy dishes! A pan (I did not use a throwaway aluminum but rather a dark baking pan), a small bowl, a whisk, a measuring spoon and cup, and a spoon or tongs for tossing the carrots. Super easy, yummy - thanks Sandra!Read more

Absolutely Delicious & Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The carrots were absolutely delicious and easy to make! I didn't have apple cider, so I used apple juice with a pinch of... allspice in it. They turned out looking exactly like the recipe on the show! I definitely have a keeper for my recipe box!Read more

yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these tonight and they were very good. I only had 1-lb of carrots and it was plenty for my family of four. I also... didn't have apple cider...so I used an instant package...it seemed to work well. I also didn't have pumpkin pie spice, so I added a little cinnamon and nutmeg. I was going to halve the sauce part of the recipe and I am glad I didn't. If I would have had 2-lbs of carrots the sauce wouldn't have been enough. I will be making these for Thanksgiving and the only thing I am changing is making a double batch of the sauce (I will be using 2-lbs for everyone). If you like carrots then you'll like these...my son didn't like them to well saying they were to sweet for him...but to the rest of us, it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy!!Read more
