Let’s talk carrots. Whyyyyyy are they so good? And why am i so late to the game on this whole roasted carrots situation?

They basically taste like candy, slow roasted in the oven with a drizzle of this…

I mean, CAN YOU EVEN? I feel like this dish is screaming spring and I’m surprisingly excited about it. I’m a cold weather girl through and through, but the one thing that can get me excited about warm weather is food.

You guys need to try these carrots. They’re great for meal prep early in the week, or they make a beautiful side dish for Passover, Easter or just a plain old Tuesday.

Can’t wait to see your creations!
