Pennies From Heaven Recipes

COPPER PENNIES RECIPE (MARINATED CARROTS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the carrots and slice them into approximately ¼-⅓ inch thick medallions.
• Place them on a baking sheet and top with the olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread them out evenly in a single layer.
• Roast for approximately 10-12 minutes for crisp-tender carrots. If you like your carrots more well done, leave them in the oven for a few more minutes. Test the carrots by sticking a fork in them.
• When the carrots are done remove from the oven and allow to cool. Set aside.
• While the carrots are cooking, combine all of the marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove the marinade from the heat and allow to cool.
• Add the carrots, bell pepper and onion to the marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• To serve, either drain the marinade or use a slotted spoon.
