How to Make Bacon Fried Carrots

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel 1 pound of carrots and cut them in half lengthwise. Then, slice them into 1/4-inch thick half-moons.
  3. Chop 1 medium onion into small pieces.
  4. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to blot excess grease.
  5. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet. Add the carrots and onions to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  6. Mix well and cook covered on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  8. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the carrots. Stir to combine.
  9. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
