Garlic Roasted Carrots
Description
Garlic Roasted Carrots features baby carrots trimmed and coated with a blend of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and dried thyme before being baked in the oven. The combination of balsamic vinegar and garlic lends a slightly tangy and aromatic flavor to the naturally sweet and tender carrots. Roasting at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes softens the carrots throughout and develops a light glaze. The garnish of chopped parsley adds a fresh note that balances the richness of the roasting.
Due to their tender texture and complementary flavors, these carrots can be served directly alongside roasted meats, poultry, or can be part of a vegetarian plate. The baking method is straightforward and only requires a gentle toss to evenly coat the carrots before roasting.
