ROSEMARY-ROASTED CARROTS



Rosemary-Roasted Carrots image

Simplistic and delicious! High heat roasting of the carrots intensifies the flavor and almost caramelizes them. This really is the best way to cook almost all root vegetables to get the full flavor of the vegetable! Preparation time includes peeling and cutting carrots. You can eliminate this if you use precut or washed baby carrots.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for baby carrots that are about 2-3 inches long and have a uniform size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Roast the carrots at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the carrots and give them a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • Add some sweetness: A little bit of honey or maple syrup will help to balance out the bitterness of the rosemary.
  • Season the carrots well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Roast the carrots until they are tender: The carrots should be tender when pierced with a fork. If they are not tender, continue roasting for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

Rosemary roasted baby carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of rosemary, honey, and garlic creates a flavor that is both savory and sweet. These carrots are also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making them a healthy choice.
