Roasting carrots with Kosher salt, fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary, is the perfect vegetable side dish to your dinner.
Sometimes I get carried away when I do the grocery shopping. Sometimes when I shop at a large warehouse store like Costco, I purchase 5 pound bags of whole carrots. 5 pounds! Carrots! I love raw carrots, I love their crunch and I especially enjoy them with a vegetable dip. But after eating fresh carrots for lunch and snacks for several days it is time for a new carrot presentation. Roasted carrots!!!!!!
Roasting carrots is so simple, and so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and so healthy. I roasted carrots today for an upcoming recipe of roasted carrot soup but snatched a few to eat before tossing them into the soup. Next time I am preparing a double pan of roasted carrots, because I was scraping the little bits left on the pan just for their amazing taste.
These roasted carrots were so flavorful.
