Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "It added color to the menu and had just the right amount of sweetness. One of three of my picky eaters liked it so I consider this as a win. Hubby and I thought that the side dish was great. Followed the recipe and I definitely will make again," says Katherine Kat Rickel. "Please keep in mind that I am not a fan of carrots, never have been. These were outstanding! I used baby carrots, as that is what I had on hand, and I put the carrots, oil, salt and pepper into a ziploc bag and mixed it all together good. I will definitely add these to my rotation of side dishes," raves Debala. "I made these for a dinner I served this evening, and there wasn't a piece of carrot left on any plate! Very delicious!
