Ingredients and Variations
Carrots: Choose carrots that are generally the same width so they cook at the same rate. Baby carrots can be used as well. Look for rainbow-colored carrots for a fun and festive-looking dish!
Seasonings: Leftover bacon fat will add a smoky flavor to roasted carrots if you have it. An herb-infused oil will also add a light flavor. Toss carrots in Italian seasoning, or a zesty Cajun seasoning.
Variations: Roast carrots with broccoli, cauliflower florets, onions, or potatoes. Make a glaze with a little bit of honey or maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon for a sweeter dish.
