Best Nifty Carrots Recipes

NIFTY CARROTS

Steps:

• Boil or steam carrots, reserving carrot water.
• I always steam them to preserve the carrot flavor.
• Place cooked carrots in a shallow casserole.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients, pour over carrots and mix.
• I use alot of horseradish because we like it.
• You can use less if you want.
• Note: The original recipe calls for bread crumbs mixed with the butter on top.
• I didn't care for it and I always omit this.
• If you want to try it, melt the butter, mix with breadcrumbs and sprinkle on top.
• Bake at 375 F.
• for 30 minutes or until horseradish sauce is bubbly.

ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.
• Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.
