Garlic and Herb Roasted Carrots

I’ve never met a veggie I didn’t like especially when it’s roasted with garlic.

I go gaga for potatoes and swoon over sprouts (Brussels that is).

And I can’t forget carrots. After all, roasted carrots pretty much kept me going for my first trimester with my boys.

They deserve all the love for that.

And because they are generally delicious and easy to make, they deserve even more love.

Roasting carrots brings out their sugars and flavors and turns them into a sweet and savory side dish that you’ll love.

  • When you cut your carrots, the pieces might feel too big for you, but remember they will shrink as they roast! You want the pieces on the big side.
  • Make sure you cut the carrots into relatively equal sized pieces.
  • Feel free to switch out the herbs. You could use any other blend to compliment your main.
