This is really the best and easiest way to roast carrots. All you need is 5 min prep. It is just that quick and easy! 59.5 calories.
I’ve never really been a fan of carrots, except when I’m munching on baby carrots and dunking them into a pool of Ranch dressing. But after trying these roasted carrots, I’ve learned that these are really the only way to have carrots.
It’s just so easy to whip up with a blend of simple ingredients – olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. That’s it. Not to mention the 5 min prep. Sometimes the simplest recipes are truly the best!

The most gorgeous carrots I’ve ever seen! So pretty!
I was at WF’s earlier this week and bought a salad from their salad bar (mind you this was a smallish vegan salad that somehow managed to cost me $13…eek!) but they had carrots like this roasted and theirs were no where near as pretty as yours!! I mean they were actually kind of wilty and not pretty….they need to come to you for lessons 🙂
