If you've ever thought carrots are a boring vegetable, you've clearly never tried them roasted! Roasting carrots brings out their natural sweetness and accentuates their earthy flavor. Garden carrots always have a better flavor than store-bought but paying a little extra for the organic carrots makes a world of difference in the flavor.
Recipe Notes:
Adding a honey ginger glaze turns these ordinary vegetables into a sweet and savory treat. Roasting at a low temperature allows the carrots to become tender on the inside and slightly crisp and glazed on the outside. I like to roast vegetables on parchment paper because it keeps them from sticking to the pan.
While peeling carrots doesn't necessarily affect their nutritional value, I like to leave the skins on when I roast them. I was gifted a Norwex fruit and vegetable scrubbing cloth years ago and it's so easy to use. I'll never go back to a traditional vegetable scrubber.
These roasted carrots elevate any meal but I especially enjoy them alongside my African Spiced Hand Pies.
