Very good. I used boiling chicken broth instead of the boiling water and baby carrots sliced length-wise. The flavor was great -- Make sure you bake them long enough until tender - mine took over an hour (I also covered the baking dish so they wouldn't dry out; but I wonder if they're supposed to dry out and roast -- either way I think is good depending on what you're after). The flavor was like that of a sweet cinnamon baked apple - I was drinking the juice it was so good! Will serve with baked ham today, and I think the flavors will complement each other beautifully.

Very tasty indeed! The next time I might add more cinnamon. I used my microwave for this dish and they turned out just great. Sure makes a pretty dish! I tagged this recipe as a participant in the January 2008 Kittencal event.

Delicious way to do carrots. I cut the sugar to 1 tbsp of Splenda and that worked for me. I paired them with a mustard chicken dish and was very pleased with the combo. Thanks Kit for another yummy one.
