Carrots and Onions

I was bored of raw baby carrots so last night I tossed the rest of the half-way eaten bag in a skillet and drizzled with EVOO. I chopped a yellow onion into big chunks. Turned on med/high heat and covered partially with a lid. The carrots blackened up a bit and were slightly tender.  Not too mushy, not totally raw.

When I saw this Roasted Carrots and Onions recipe on allrecipes.com, it said to use red onions, but I didn’t have any. It also said to place on a cookie sheet in the oven. I did these in a skillet because my oven was cooking a ham at the time. It all worked out super-fantastic. I'll definitely try this again. Very excited to have found a way to have roasted carrots without the butter and brown sugar.
