This dish marries with my roasted Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts recipes to make a trio of perfect vegetable sides. Sometimes vegetables need to be elevated to give them a little pizazz. Let’s face it, carrots aren’t usually the star of the show – especially with kids. This recipe changes all of that because these carrots are absolutely amazing. These carrots are tossed with a garlicky-herb butter and roasted to a sweet, caramelized perfection. You can serve this side dish with roast chicken, turkey, or pork.
Which Carrots Are Best
For this recipe, I used tender young carrots (the ones with the greens still attached). If you use larger carrots, you’ll have to cut them lengthwise into smaller pieces. This recipe works with baby carrots too. Just keep in mind that they may need a bit less time to cook! If your baby carrots are quite small, start checking them after 15-20 minutes.
Step By Step Instructions:
Start by washing your carrots. Once washed, allow the carrots to dry completely. In a bowl, add the balsamic vinegar to the oil. Add the melted butter. Cut any thicker carrots lengthways. Add the prepared carrots to a pan. Drizzle on the butter and vinegar mixture. Add sliced garlic. Add chopped parsley and season well with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, roast and serve hot.
