A few weeks ago, John ran to the grocery store for me. I’d put carrots down on the shopping list, but didn’t specify how many carrots were needed. He bought the largest bag he could find: five pounds of carrots for three people. Chilled, carrots will keep a long time, if you can fit them in the fridge. This recipe helped. Maybe I’ll use the rest for carrot cake, a stir fry, stew and carrot salad.

 

Gingered Carrots

 

1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2” thick chunks

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

 

Preheat oven to 375F. Place carrots and butter in 9x13” baking dish. Roast about 35 minutes, or until carrots are tender. Stir in remaining ingredients and continue to roast another 5 minutes. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings.
