🙋♀️Are carrots good for me?
1000% yes.
It's awesome how economical carrots are but they also pack major nutrition with a ton of benefits like fibre, antioxidants and vitamins and minerals, like vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin K.
It's like a bag will cost as little as a buck sometimes.
Like holy man that's a lot of nutrition for a dollar?!
🏅Top Tips
Evenly cut carrots
Do your best to cut the carrots at (approximately) the same width.
Yes, I have a mandolin. And no, I didn't get it out.
The seasoning is good on other things!
The seasoning for these carrots is lovely.
It's my new favourite go-to combo of oregano+basil+parsley.
I'm not exactly sure what the dried parsley does (not much?) but this trio will save you in a pinch every time.
Combine these three amigos together and throw it on roasted veggies, chicken or in a soup.
Roasting time is forgiving
The roasting of the carrots is super forgiving.
I've left them in for an extra 25 min (whoops hehe) and I actually loved the browned, almost sweet-tasting result so feel free to leave them in longer than I have on this recipe.
I hope you try this recipe and love it like we do.
