Kevin…at the end of the recipes you have the nutrients..but not an amount. Is the calorie count and such for the whole 2 lbs of carrots and bacon or for how many? and I love everything you do!

Kevin….you list 328 carbs for this dish…even for the ENTIRE dish, that's way more than could possible be in it for the ingredients listed? The maple syrup only adds 8.67 carbs per serving? One medium Carrot has 6 carbs…and bacon has NONE…. Where are all those carbs coming from??

I'm figuring about 15 carbs per medium sized carrot…and about 4 carrots per serving…60 carbs per serving? ANYWAY…these look INCREDIBLE…and yes, I will be serving them for Thanksgiving this year!

Is it difficult to keep the bacon from unwrapping in the pan or on the rack? Just wondering if I should also be grabbing wood skewers or soaking toothpicks before getting in to this. Thanks

I'm making these for Thanksgiving. Have decided to precook both the carrots and bacon a bit beforehand and then finish off on top of the stove in a skillet. Yum.

Delicious! I used 1/2 carrots and 1/2 parsnips. I used maple syrup for the carrots and ginger syrup for the parsnips. Served with roasted cider brined turkey.

Vee C: I'm glad you liked them and the parsnips in ginger syrup sounds amazing!

Kevin, these look amazing! The thing I like most is that they seem super easy to prepare. Do you think I can replace the maple syrup with agave or honey?

Oh my goodness! You found a way to make eating bacon HEALTHY! I loved this. I must have eaten… well, I ate a lot. These are absolutely delicious! I'll be sending lots of friends and family your way. I'm looking forward to trying more recipes of yours. Thank you for a deliciously evil way to eat carrots.

This recipe failed completely! I'm now adding 15 minutes beyond the time and they are still not soft. I think you'd have to slightly boil these first. There has to be a missing step. Also, I would definitely not waste the maple syrup until the end. It just melts and burns.

I experienced the same. 45 minutes is more reasonable. I used the slender sized carrots as recommended and they were more done where the bacon was wrapped, but undone elsewhere. And yes the syrup basting is a waste. I did add it after they were completely done.

Same happened to me. I’d recommend cooking a bit ahead of time or getting even thinner carrots and cooking longer.

You do want to use thin carrots or pre-cook the larger ones!

Hi, these look great!
Would it work to do it on the BBQ?Reply

BBQ’d would be nice!

I have tried preparing this recipe following the directions precisely, precooking the bacon, precooking the carrots. I wanted this to work, after multiple tries I’ve decided it just isn’t worth it. Disappointed.
