When it comes to making simple yet delicious side dishes, oven-roasted carrots are an unbeatable option.
Carrots – the orange vegetable that is often labeled boring and bland. But far from it! Roasted in the oven, carrots develop a completely new aroma and become a delicious and healthy treat at the same time. Their natural sweetness is intensified by oven roasting, while the outer layer caramelizes slightly and takes on a crispy texture. This versatile side dish goes well with a variety of dishes, including meat, fish and poultry, and is suitable for both everyday and special occasions.
