The Mindful Kitchen Recipe: Roasted Carrots

A delicious and easy way to prepare spring carrots is to roast them whole. Caramelized on the outside, tender on the inside, whole roasted carrots feel oddly fancy for something so simple. Toss a bunch with a few tablespoons of olive oil, a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper, and maybe a sprig of thyme or a minced clove of garlic. Throw the carrots on a lined baking sheet in a 425° oven and roast, flipping occasionally, until tender and browned on the outside. For the really small ones 25 or 30 minutes should do it; larger ones may need more time. Serve them as is or on a bed of greens with a simple vinaigrette.
