ZESTY CARROTS
I'm always on the lookout for unusual recipes that are easy to make, and this is certainly one of those! A cooking teacher in the trade school I attended introduced me to Zesty Carrots. If you're a gardener, this would be a good way to use up a bumper crop of carrots! They're so tasty they might even make carrot lovers out of people who aren't "fans" of them now.

ZESTY CARROTS
This is an easy-to-make family favorite and has always been served as a side dish at our Thanksgiving dinners. Don't let the horseradish scare you. It merely adds a tangy flavor. You can use pre-made bread crumbs to make it even easier. Light mayo works fine and so does cooking spray on the casserole dish in place of butter.

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: For this recipe, it's best to use fresh, organic carrots that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
- Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole. Otherwise, cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces.
- Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Roast the carrots at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Serve the carrots immediately: Roasted carrots are best served immediately, while they are still warm and crispy. You can garnish them with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Zesty Herbed Carrots are a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
