Pouch Baked Carrot Recipe

Prep Time: 10 mins  Cooking Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:
8 large carrots (peeled)
1/2 large shallot (diced small)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 medium navel orange
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
salt & pepper

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut carrots into chunky pieces on the diagonal. (Do not slice too thin!) In a large bowl toss the carrots and shallots with olive oil until coated. Add the honey and juice from the orange. Zest the orange over the mixture and salt and pepper to taste. Lay a 2 foot long piece of aluminum foil on the table. Place carrot mixture on one half of the foil and fold the other half up over the carrots. Crimp the sides and then close it up in front to form a pocket, then close the pocket to form a pouch. Place on a cookie sheet in the oven. Check occasionally to make sure no juice is escaping from  your pouch. If it is, re-crimp the sides. Bake for 45 minute or until tender. Serves 4 to 6.
