Can u say Ribbit/Do you have vegetable problems?

Both of these fun little recipes came from a book purchased at my kids school book fair a year ago called "Silly Snacks" and it is all Sesame Street characters' supposed favorite recipes, and so the first one is s supposed to be lily pads that oscar likes...basically a spinach pancake with cheese on it..not bad but the next one takes the "cake" so to say (even though sesame street would never promote eating cake...heavens no!! ;) but if you have trouble getting your kids to easy carrots in particular, this ought to help...toss carrots (long ones cut in strips is what it asks for but I just had baby carrots and they work perfectly) with olive oil,salt,and pepper and cook for 20 minutes, turning once in between. After they come out of oven,toss with cinnamon sugar mixture...they are divine,and this is coming from my kiddos and myself who is an adult who doesn't even like many vegetables!!

It looks like there is something else with the carrots - is there? You said cook for 20 min. (which I guessed was on the stove) but you said "from the oven". I will try them but give full details if you don't mind. It sounds very interesting.
