SIMPLE ORANGE GINGER CARROTS

These carrots are a great side dish for an Asian style dinner. Roasting them in the oven with sugars makes for some nice browning and a delicious mixing of flavors. There are more complicated recipes that are similar, this is my extra easy version.

Approx. 1/2 Bag Fresh Baby Carrots (Go ahead and put in the whole bag it it will fit)
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Butter, or butter substitute
1 1/2 Cup Orange Juice
Powdered Ginger, to taste

PREHEAT OVEN TO 375○

Stir the Brown Sugar, Honey, and Ginger into the Orange Juice and pour into the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan with the Butter. I always use Non-stick spray in case of burns. Dump the Baby Carrots on top and spoon the juice mixture over those that are not covered in it. Cook uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes or until the carrots are tender, stir about every 15 minutes to make sure the carrots do not dry out. Add more juice if needed.
