Your Jr. Chef can make Caramelized Carrots
Good lesson in shopping for specific products – wanted: the 4-5″ carrots sold in bunches with tops still on (they’re firm and not too ‘wet’); not wanted: bagged ‘baby’ carrots. Another lesson – color changes can taste good (browned/scorched parts taste like candy). Halved/quartered carrots tossed with olive oil/honey/sw&p, and roasted. Parental supervision.
