Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook, stirring, often, just until the fat is rendered and the bacon starts to crisp up. Turn off the heat.
  3. Peel the carrots and place them on the baking sheet. I like to drizzle the carrots with the bacon grease that is in the pan. Toss the carrots to cover them evenly with the bacon fat. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the carrots, along with the pepper and garlic. Top with the bacon.
  4. Roast the carrots for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisped and the carrots are fork tender.
  5. Remove the baking sheet and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately!
