Ingredients:

• 3 cups pared and sliced carrots
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup crushed bran flakes
• 1/2 cup flaked coconut

Cook carrots in salted water until tender. Drain and add butter. Toss carrots until all are covered. Cool. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a plastic bag. Add carrots to bag and shake to coat carrots. Place in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Stir at least once during baking time. Serves 6-8.

Note: My family doesn't like coconut so I omit that.
