Roasted Baby Carrots, Fennel, and Shallots
I wanted a simple, easy, and tasty side dish to pair with a roasted chicken I made for dinner recently. I grabbed some fennel and baby carrots from the grocery store and simply roasted the baby carrots, fennel, and shallots drizzled with the garlic-infused olive oil I had just made. The veggies smelled incredible while they roasted and tasted fantastic. I loved garlicky flavor of the veggies and the caramelized bits on the shallots, fennel, and carrots. These roasted veggies were delicious with the mashed potatoes and roasted chicken.
How to Make Roasted Baby Carrots, Fennel, and Shallots
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with a bit of olive oil.
Place the baby carrots, fennel, and shallot together on the baking sheet with some of the garlic-infused olive oil (or plain is fine too). Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
Place into the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes or so to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.
Ingredients

Love roasted veggies and I would eat the whole tray in no time!
Perfect combination. Theses vegetables go together so well. Roasting makes them even better. Great recipe.
The recipe looks great. Unfortunately I am not able to get fennel in my neck of the woods. Can you suggest some other vegetables?
Thanks
June,
Just carrots and shallots would be tasty but you could also throw in some parsnip, squash, and bell peppers. You could add in some green beans or grape tomatoes in the last 10 minutes of roasting too.
