I will be adding these to our Thanksgiving meal. Apparently I screwed up.
I bought more than I needed for the garlic salad. I shopped at Winco today
and they did not have loose carrots. Then my CSA package arrived and there
were carrots in there! I don't even remember them being on the list but
perhaps I accidentally swapped something out for those. Anyway... Roasted
it is! I will use Ina Garten's recipe which just calls for olive oil,
kosher salt, pepper and dill or parsley. I'll use parsley.

You can't go wrong with that!

Better with butter.
Better to garnish with minced parsley after roasting.

The coffee sounds interesting. Never heard of that before. Daughter loves
coffee but not cooked carrots. She only likes them raw.

Yeah. I generally like my vegetables on the plain side. I hate it when
people put things like maple syrup and honey on carrots.

Thanks! Perhaps another time. I have no coffee beans.

Why? I like olive oil.

Did you use decaf coffee as recommended in the recipe? I'm wondering
why decaf?

I tried the carrots too, following that recipe. It uses a very low
baking temperature, 225F, and this was low enough not to harm the
regular stainless steel skillet, which was all I had available.

Not bad at all! tho' it is rather a lot of coffee beans. I will make the
carrots again. I do not give decaffeinated (as the recipe suggests)
coffee beans kitchen room and I can't see any point of them.
