I bought these beautiful carrots at the farmers market.
If you want a hot, baked side dish, consider baking a carrot. I found some large, deeply colored carrots at the farmers market. Cut in half, breaded and baked, they make a nice alternative to a baked potato.

I will try this on our head start menu for the toddlers
Did you ever make this for the kids? I hope they enjoyed!
