    Honey Roasted Carrots -This is one of the easiest, most versatile side dishes EVER! Pairs well with chicken, turkey, ham, or steak. Want to keep things vegetarian? Try adding a pinch of chipotle seasoning before roasting and serve on crostini with ricotta cheese. Or try, serving over a bed of quinoa with arugula and feta. The possibilities are endless!

    Colorful, flavorful, healthy ..and simple!

    The benefits of carrots are numerous. They are high in Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) which has been shown to help reduce the risk of certain cancers (like breast, lung, and colon), help improve vision, slow down the aging process, and promote healthier skin. That’s a lot of goodness packed into these vibrant veggies.

    Roasting veggies requires only a few minutes of hands –on time to wash and peel the carrots and give them a light coating of olive oil and honey. The sweet caramelized goodness happens while they are slow roasting in the oven. I like to roast them for about 30-40 min. until the insides are cooked but the carrots still have a slight crunch to them.

      I love roasted carrots, and I like how your pictures have the leaves - where do you get them? At my grocery store they've already been "plucked!"

        Doug...agreed!..love when you can buy them with the leaves still on. Luckily one of my local markets usually carries them. Even better is when you can get them at the farmers market (which starts again soon!) It makes me happy to have those long green floppy carrot tops peeking out of my basket/shopping bag. 🙂
