Balsamic Roasted Baby Carrots Recipes

BALSAMIC ROASTED BABY CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
• Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper, if you don't have any just spray it liberally with non-stick cooking spray.
• Rinse your carrots and pat dry.
• In a medium sized glass bowl (or large if double batching) place the carrots inside.
• In a small glass bowl add the balsamic vinegar, then slowly add the olive oil while whisking with gusto. Do not use aluminum bowls, it doesn't play well with acidic ingredients. Whisk with gusto until your arm falls off, or your ingredients combine perfectly.
• Now pour the balsamic mix over top off the carrots. Toss the carrots until well coated. Pour them onto the cookie sheet.
• Place in oven and roast them for about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how crisp or soft you like your carrots, and how thick they are. I did not cut this batch in half since they were not overly thick, but you can do that if you like. I often do. I flip mine halfway through, just so I get that nice caramelized goodness on both sides.
• Remove from oven. Transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with coarse salt, pepper and parsley.
• Serve with a big old Vitamin A loving smile!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Combine olive oil, salt, pepper, and carrots in a bag; toss to coat. I use the carrot bag. Pour the carrots into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar over the carrots; shake the pan to coat evenly. Return to over and bake until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot.
