Herb Roasted Carrots



From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a great recipe to have when you need a vegetable for a buffet or antipasto tray. The carrots can, of course, be served hot but they are just as delicious when served at room temperature. These are a great make ahead. They pack a huge flavor punch and they are very easy to do.

I love the taste of roasted vegetables and these carrots look amazing. I am intrigued by the idea of adding the cheese, especially gruyere. I have to try them!

Sometimes it seems carrots are forgotten. I love to saute them quickly, sliced thin, and top with tarrragon. Will try this. Thanks.

Mary this looks so good. I love carrots. I have such a hard time getting my family to eat them unless I hide them. Maybe if I try this I can convert them!

Roasting veggies brings out so much flavor. I love preparing them this way. And I agree with you, they are just as delicious at room temperature.

The herb garnish and your choice of plate makes this carrot dish stand out...who remembers carrot dishes?

This one is.

These look delicious, I like the addition of the herbs. I bet tarragon would work well too.

I haven't cooked carrots much - we always eat them raw. This recipe really looks good, simple and healthy. Looking forward to trying it Mary.
