Roasted Spiced Carrot Fries Mmmmmm!

I baked about 5 different types of cookies the past day in and a half..... yikes!! I am just slowly starting my Christmas cookie baking. Last year I made sooooooo many different types of cookies, at least 15 kinds.... and about 5 dozen or more of each type. Thank god we have a HUGE basement freezer! I will post the recipes for all of my cookies sooner or later, but for now I leave with with Roasted Spiced Carrot Fries!

This recipe I published in May of 2007 and have been making them constantly since. These carrots are like candy to me. I scale this down all the time using a handful of carrots depending on how many people I am serving and often I skip the oil and just spray the carrots with PAM non stick cooking spray.. Enjoy!

1 dash ginger
1 dash salt and pepper
Directions
1. Peel and cut carrots into french fry shapes.
2. mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl, then add carrots and mix again.

4. Bake in a 450 F oven for about 45 min., stirring every once and a while. Watch carefully to make sure they don't burn. The smaller you cut them the shorted the cook time will be.
