TIP: you may need to make more than you think is enough, since they do tend to "shrink" during baking and your family may eat more than you think they will.
BAKED CANDIED CARROTS
1 small bag baby carrots ..................................3 TB butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt ..........................................................1/3 cup brown sugar (I always use dark)
1 tsp. dried thyme ..............................................1/2 tsp. cinnamon
about 1 TB honey
***
I sprayed my casserole dish with buttery non-stick spray ~ then put the carrots in there (sliced in half length-wise) ~ try to spread them out so they're mostly in a single layer. Drizzle the melted butter over them.
Mix the brown sugar, salt, thyme and cinnamon together in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the carrots. Then drizzle the honey evenly over the top.
BAKING TIME:
If you're just doing the carrots, then bake in a pre-heated 375 oven (covered) for about 20 minutes. Uncover ~ stir the carrots ~ put them back in the oven (without the cover) for about 15-20 more until the carrots are tender and a little browned.
If you have something else in there @ 400, that's fine. Your total baking time will be 20-25 minutes ~ so uncover them after about 10 minutes and continue for another 10-15 minutes.
If something else is baking @ 350, that fine too. Your total baking time will be closer to 45-50 minutes, so uncover after 20 minutes and continue baking for 25-30 minutes more.
