Eat the Rainbow
Did you know? Rainbow carrots are packed full of vitamin A, fiber, potassium, and phytonutrients such as beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, and anthocyanins all of which support heart health, eye health, a healthy immune system, AND may reduce your risk of certain types of cancer!
How to Roast Carrots
First, scrub or peel the carrots and then cut them into slices.
Next, toss the carrots, olive oil, fresh rosemary, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl.
Spread the carrots onto a baking sheet and place in the oven to roast for 20-25 minutes at 425 degrees or until tender.
So Easy!
These multi-colored carrots are so delicious and are sure to be popular with your guests. I'd highly recommend doubling the recipe! 😉
If you do end up with any leftovers, they may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
You could, but I wouldn't recommend it. Roasting vegetables intensifies their sweet, rustic flavor. When boiling them, significant amounts of nutrients may leach into the water.
You could substitute 2 teaspoons of dried rosemary, but I personally feel that fresh is best for this recipe!
