I just love roasting vegetables in the winter months to serve as a side dish with various foods, or on their own as a complete meal. Just drizzle a little oil, sprinkle S&P and roast!

In this case, large carrots are cut in half long ways and roasted until the natural sugars caramelize and create a slightly sticky coating that’s delicious.

Ingredients:

• 4 giant carrots, cut in half then halved long ways
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ½ tsp. each salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Add the carrots to a baking sheet and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the carrots then roast, cut side down, in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until tender.

4 side servings.
