Savory Herb-Infused Roasted Carrots
Ingredients:
- 6-8 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks or rounds
- A splash or two of water (to toss the carrots)
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the carrots: Peel and cut the carrots into sticks or rounds, depending on your preference. The smaller they are, the quicker they’ll cook!
- Season the carrots: In a bowl, toss the carrots with a splash of water, garlic, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika (if using), salt and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast: Spread the carrots out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and tender.
- Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle fresh parsley over the carrots and serve with a squeeze of lemon for an extra burst of flavor.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
