CARIBBEAN CARROTS
I love the beautiful little carrots from the Farmers Market. You know, the ones that come with the green tops still attached! This is a super easy and unique way to serve them - and you can adjust the spices to your own taste. We like them on the spicy side! This is also a great dish for potlucks - it is a beautiful presentation...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet large enough to hold the carrots in one layer with parchment paper.
- 2. Cut off all but one inch of the carrot tops. Peel the carrots. In a rectangular bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, rum, and the spices. Adjust salt to your taste. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them gently so they are completely covered with the marinade.
- 3. Place the carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer. Reserve the leftover marinade. Roast the carrots until they are tender and beginning to brown, about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of your carrots. Turn them halfway through roasting time, brushing them with the reserved marinade. If they start to dry out during roasting, keep brushing them with the marinade.
- 4. Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice and honey in a small bowl. When the carrots are done, remove tray from oven. Pour the lemon & honey over the carrots, turning to distribute.
- 5. To serve, arrange the carrots on a serving dish and sprinkle with the crumbled cheese and the cilantro. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

ORANGE-SPICED CARROTS (FAT-FREE)
You may use a bag of baby carrots in place of sliced, and the spices may be adjusted to taste, if I am serving these to guests I go the extra step of drying all the cooked carrots with paper towels to make certain they are extra dry so the coating will stick to them and not become thin, if you are serving a large dinner party you might want to double the recipe, for an extra kick add in a very small pinch cayenne pepper --- these are very good!

Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. Fresh, young carrots will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture.
- Peel and cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If you are using baby carrots, you can leave them whole.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe give the carrots a delicious and complex flavor. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cumin, coriander, or cinnamon.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots will not cook evenly. Cook the carrots in batches if necessary.
- Cook the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking will make the carrots mushy.
- Serve the carrots immediately: Caribbean orange spiced carrots are best served hot or warm. They can be served as a side dish, or as a snack.
Conclusion:
Caribbean orange spiced carrots are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The carrots are tender and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the oranges and a touch of spice from the ginger and allspice. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
