Oven-Roasted Spiced Carrots

I made these for dinner tonight with Maple-Glazed Pork Chops and they were awesome!!  Super tender, flavorful and a little spicy too!  Yum!  My kids can't stand cooked carrots, so on nights when I make them, they eat raw carrots!  Hey, I pick my battles - at least they are eating them!

Enjoy!
