Jeanne S I love carrots. Eat them raw fairly often. Eat them with hummus also. Love them roasted since it brings out the sweetness of them. I use them and or zucchini, sometimes in banana bread or muffins. Thinking about making a carrot ginger soup. I might use vegetable stock instead of chicken for the soup.

Tee M Karen the main difference between roasting and baking is the temperature and time. Roasting is don't at temps over 400 and baking is lower around 375 and lowes. Otherwise the same thing 😉

Jeanne S Coach T, I think you are saying to roast at 400 and above. I find roasting at around 425 (depends on oven) brings out sweetness in carrots and a slight caramelization versus baking. Of course it depends what else you're cooking. So, roasting is my pref. If you're cooking the veggies with a roast or poultry, you'll probably use oven and not roast. Thank you for sharing the difference. I don't think I really knew.
