When carrots are roasted their natural sugar comes out and provides sweetness to any dish. I prefer to use organic carrots to gain optimal flavor and nutrition. Carrots are a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium. Carrots are a great snack. One cup of this vegetable (122g) has 50 calories, 3g fiber, and zero grams of fat. You can steam carrots but to get the optimal flavor I roast them. Here is a simple recipe of roasted carrots that can accompany any lean protein.
Ingredients:
2 lbs organic carrots (cut into to 1 inch strips)
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
pinch of fresh sea salt
pinch of ground pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Place the cut carrot pieces on a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the salt and pepper over the carrots. Toss all the ingredients. Cook for 20-30 minutes until carrots are tender but not mushy. When they are finished add the parsley and serve.
Servings: 6
