Simply Roasted Carrots
I love making recipes that are difficult and include lots of ingredients–I guess I like a challenge. Sometimes, though, I just like to keep it really simple. I needed a quick and easy side dish recipe for dinner, so I made these simply roasted carrots. They turned out fork-tender and absolutely delicious, and they paired nicely with pork chops, potatoes, and dinner rolls.

Simple and healthy makes for a good dish.
Hi Pam:)
I’ve been roasting a lot of carrots these days too but, I usually steam them before tossing them in the oven. I didn’t think they would have enough roasting time in the oven to soften up. I’ll have to skip the steaming next time and see if there’s a difference.
Thanks for sharing, Pam…
P.S. Noah LOVED the mushrooms!!!
Look amazing and I love roasted roasted carrots Pam!
I am glad this is a simple recipe. Now that I am thinking about it, it’s not the number of ingredients I find overwhelming if it’s spices. I have most of those on hand and I like spice in food. Anyway these carrots are great.
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones! Roasted veggies are the best!
Simple but very delicious!
Roasting is such a great way to make vegetables taste good.
I love a good simple side dish! These carrots sound awesome.
Alexis and I have been on a roasted carrot kick for a few months, probably will be until spring.
