Roasted Carrots


A common occurrence in our household, and apparently in Katie and Martin's, roasted carrots are an easy and delectable way to obtain your vegetable servings for the day.

Ingredients:
whole carrots
olive oil
salt
pepper
rosemary (optional)

1- Start with whole carrots- peel and chunk them (about 2 inch pieces). Put them on a baking sheet and make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
2- Add about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix the carrots so they are coated in it. Do not use too much oil because then it gets really greasy.
3- Salt and pepper to taste. Add rosemary if wanted.
4- Bake at 375-400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes or until the carrots are soft.

As noted by Katie in Charleston, these actually taste more like sweet potatoes than carrots when done. Brian, maybe this should be a new favorite yours to help your eyes. That's my motivation, anyways.

  1. These are good, and they taste sort of like sweet potatoes, which is a big improvement over standard carrot taste.
