Blue Ribbon Recipe

These baked carrots are so good your kids will be asking for seconds. Baking the carrots in sugar, salt, cinnamon, and butter is a fantastic salty and sweet flavor combination. As it cooks, the sauce becomes a syrup and coats the carrots. Very simple to taste and everyone will love this side dish. Fantastic for a holiday dinner but easy enough to serve for a weeknight meal.
