Roasted or Baked Carrots

.
1 lb carrots, peeled
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup brandy (apple juice or pineapple juice)
1/8 tsp ground ginger

Melt butter in saucepan, add the brandy and simmer on low for about 5 minutes

Pour the mixture over the carrots, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes - 1hour (testing for doneness) in preheated 350* oven.

Peel your carrots, cut in half lengthwise and then in quarters

You'll end up with something that is like a matchstick cut, but you don't want them really thin, just quarter the carrot.

Arrange them in a baking dish.

Melt the butter, add the brandy and the ginger. Heat at a low simmer for about 5 minutes and pour over the carrots.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the over for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The baking time depends on how thick your carrots are.

Check for doneness at about 45 minutes.

If you wish a little bit sweeter carrot, add a small amount of sugar or brown sugar to the butter mix.

They're very easy since they can be baking in the oven with your meat.
