If you are anything like me, deciding on a side dish is always a difficult task. I’m fine with coming up with a main dish, that is no issue…but planing the side dish is a totally different story.
It’s important for me to make a dish that compliments the entree and not something totally random. I don’t want to be the person who brings a Mexican rice dish to an Italian dinner. With that being said, this recipe for Roasted Honey & Herb Carrots is a simple side dish that’s perfect for any holiday or a weeknight meal.
These carrots are savory, slightly sweet, and oh so delicious. Even though it’s just a side dish, this recipe will be the star of the show. Carrots have never looked so appealing!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
- 2 bunches of whole baby carrots (approximately 15-20)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- Desired amount of fresh parsley & cilantro (I used approximately 1 tablespoon of each)
- Desired amount of pine nuts (I used approximately 2 Tbsp)
- dash of salt & pepper
HOW DO I MAKE ROASTED HONEY & HERB CARROTS?
