I have been roasting carrots ever since I realized that roasted carrots taste like sweet heaven when roasted.  Just all vegetables, when roasting carrots the vegetables take on a new life.  A crispy brown and delicious life.

I roasted these up in just a classic salt, pepper and olive oil blend.  Until they were just al dente.  And in the meantime, I cooked up a sexy brown butter with garlic.

A butter turns brown when the milk solids in the butter caramelize.  And when this happens the flavor of the butter deepens and becomes nutty and warm.  I add a whole slew of minced garlic cloves into the mix and take the flavor from meh to holy… you know where I am going with this right?

I really love to roast the thinner carrots that come with the stems on still on them.  I trim them completely if all the greens except the very top inch or so.  They roast up faster but they also look so adorable!

These are so easy that I made them up in 20 minutes for an extremely last minute dinner at my house.  I literally had 40 minutes from the instant I stepped into the house, to make 2 entrees 2 sides and a salad.   I stuck these babies in the oven and just let them do the work for me.  Once they were tender, I poured the glaze on them and added some Parmesan…because Parm makes things even sexier.

2o minutes+a few rock star ingredients and your carrots are delicious city!

It of course is listed in my 2016 Thanksgiving & Christmas Dinner Plan Extravaganza!  Make sure you check out all the other yums that go along with it!
