We love carrots, thank you soursugar for making me figure out how to use my mandolin for something other than slicing potatoes. I made little sticks on the mandolin, just as you suggested.<br/><br/>I chose the fennel variation for the "Variety is the Spice of Life Event" Boy am I happy I did, it was great. I roast a lot of veggies, but never tried carrots before. <br/><br/>Wonderful application for carrots. <br/><br/>No problems at all, cooked exactly as directed. YUMMY!

I made this using the cinnamon- allspice option. I cut the carrots into thin rounds and baked on a foil lined baking sheet. The timing was right on and the carrots were delicious! Thanks for sharing. Made for Variety is the Spice of Life event.

I have made these twice now, Once with the cinnamon-allspice and once with the fennel seed. Both very good, but we really liked the fennel seed version! Went well with Italian style dinner. I used baby carrots slice lengthwise. Made for Variety is the Spice of Life game.

Timing, directions, and taste right on. Made the cumin variation. IF, I could add it to my 425 oven cook book I would, but site is not meshing well with iPad. Thank you for sharing. Served with rice and breaded shrimp.

What a great recipe! :) It tastes soooo yummy and has a perfect balance of flavours. The honey really brings out the natural sweetness of the carrot (I chose to use a tad less honey, though) and the spices are a great addition. I made variations #1, #3 and #4 and liked #3 the best. The allspice and cinnamon were so great with the honey and carrots! YUM!<br/>Ill definitely make this again! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a keeper, soursugar.<br/>Made and reviewed for the Variety is the spice of life event May 2012.
