Balsamic Roasted Carrots

By Julie Andrews

Looking for an easy peasy winter side dish or holiday crowd pleaser? These balsamic roasted carrots will certainly do the trick.

If you struggle to get veggies on the table in the cooler months or during the holidays, then boy do I have the recipe for you! These carrots are roasted to perfection with a little tang and a little sweet. They take less than 10 minutes of prep and just a handful of ingredients and they really will look beautiful on your holiday table. Here is how I make them:

I peel and trim whole carrots, then roast them in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Then, I season them with salt, black pepper and drizzle them with a bit of honey (however, this step is totally optional). Garnish with a little parsley and voila! You have a beautiful dish to show off to family that is only 5 or 6 ingredients. How cool is that?!
