My friend Suzanne clued me into a great way to do up carrots. She uses the "Nantes" French carrots from Trader Joe's or the bunched baby carrots at Whole Foods. Note that the "baby" carrots are not those 1 inch carrots that one gets in a big bag to serve as snacks for kids. By baby carrots we mean the carrots that are 4 to 5 inches long, usually they come with the greens still on. The first time I made these I completely over-cooked them, kept them in the oven for an hour versus 30-40 minutes. They were still quite edible, but not serve-able, and definitely not photographable (high char factor). Pictured here are carrots Suzanne has prepared (thankfully correctly).
