Your title refers to "bake" but why not make a healthy stir-fry with them tonight? I love pairing them up with broccoli....there's always soup which is a big topic on this board right now, too!

  This is my aunt's recipe that she gave me:
  
  1 to 1 1/2 lbs cooked carrots (I steamed mine)
  3 eggs
  1/3 cup sugar
  2 T flour
  1 t baking powder
  1 t vanilla
  1/2 cup melted butter
  dash each of nutmeg & cinnamon
  
  Puree cooked carrots until smooth. Add eggs. Add rest of ingredients & puree until nice & smooth. Pour into greased 1 1/2 qt. dish. Bake at 350 deg. for 1 hour. Serves 4-6.

They are great in a slow cooked tomato sauce - I frequently throw in a grated carrot or 2 as they are full of natural sugar. Cole slaw of course. Muffins , carrot cake. Almost any quick bread recipe can handle some carrot thrown in....

Also, if you have other veggies to shred you could make a fritter.

LASAGNA!! even in recipes that ask for pre-cooking carrots i often just throw them into my veggie lasagna raw and add a few minutes of cooking time. the natural sweetness with the salty cheese and tomato sauce is perfection!
