Roasted Garlic Carrots

This is a quick and easy fantastic alternative to fries. Very delicious and your taste buds will appreciate this great new side-dish...mmmmm....

Ingredients

1 lb. organic carrots(peeled and halved lengthwise)
6 small garlic cloves (skin on)
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Heat over to 425 degrees

-Arrange carrots and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet.
-Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
-Roast, rotating pan once, until caramelized and tender,(30-35 minutes).
-Use a knife to spread roasted garlic on carrots.
(roasting garlic with the skin on brings out the natural oils and flavors that much more)

Alternatives to serving up this original side-dish:

-Squeeze with lemon.
-Add 1 Tbsp torn fresh mint leaves.
-Toss with 1 Tbsp of toasted pine nuts.
-Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. curry powder before roasting.

I'm sure that this will quickly become a family favorite....go ahead and live on the adventurous side!!!!

Enjoy!!!
