ROASTED POTATOES AND BABY CARROTS WITH GARLIC
I just purchase a small bag of baby carrots and use the whole bag for this, or use regular peeled carrots cut into about 2-inch chunks. Try to use a good quality olive oil for this. After you have been making this for a while you will know just how much to adjust your salt and garlic, the amounts listed are about the amounts I use when I make this, but all ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste, if you are a garlic-lover use lots of garlic, after cooking the garlic flavor will mellow and will not as strong, so don't be intimated by 8 cloves! This can be made hours in advance and just rewarmed. If you find that the baby carrots are done before the potatoes just remove them to a bowl. I make this very often, it is a simple side dish with lots of flavor, I roast all of my root veggies using the same method and ingredients, rutabagas, parsnips, beets, large chunky size carrots and even sweet potatoes or yams, just peel them and chop into 2-inch pieces (larger size for yams). This is a fantastic side dish, simple and delicious!

ROSEMARY ROASTED BABY CARROTS
Baby carrots go over big when seasoned with the subtle taste of rosemary. I like to sprinkle raisins on top for a combination of sweet and savory. -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho

SAVORY ROASTED BABY CARROTS
These salty little morsels are better than french fries, IMHO. You can go a little heavier on any of the seasonings, to taste, sometimes I even add a touch of cayenne for those who like a *kick*-

Steps:
- Toss the carrots with the olive oil, thoroughly coating all the carrots. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet (I like to line mine with foil, makes for easy cleanup). Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, stirring them around every 10 minutes. The carrots will become browned and caramelized, and the littlest ones may get quite brown, I have found they are just as delicious (maybe the most delicious) and leave them alone :) After they are roasted, sprinkle with the seasonings, and toss together to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout.
ORANGE ROASTED BABY CARROTS
This is an easy and delicious way to cook carrots. Try to choose a bag that is fairly dry (not been sprayed over and over by the grocery store mister) so that they will caramalize better.

SPICE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED BABY CARROTS
Pork tenderloin goes perfectly with sweet baby carrots. The bags of machine-cut "baby" carrots contain too much moisture and wont roast nicely. Instead, use true baby carrots or larger carrots cut into long, slender fingers about the size of young carrots.
