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.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Carrots: Select small, tender baby carrots for optimal taste and texture.
- Trim and Peel: Trim the ends of the carrots and peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients.
- Uniform Size: Cut the carrots into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Toss with Oil: Coating the carrots in oil helps them roast evenly and prevents them from drying out.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and easy cleanup.
- High Heat: Roast the carrots at a high temperature (450°F) to caramelize the natural sugars and create a slightly charred exterior.
- Stir Occasionally: Toss the carrots halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Make the Glaze: While the carrots are roasting, prepare the glaze by combining orange juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and a touch of chili powder.
- Glaze the Carrots: Remove the carrots from the oven and immediately brush them with the prepared glaze.
- Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the carrots with chopped mint and orange zest for an extra burst of flavor and color.
