Spiced Roasted Carrots
I made these Spiced Roasted Carrots and let me tell you, they were the BEST carrots I have ever tasted! The wonderful flavor of the spices were delicious but what set this aside from all other carrot recipes is the red wine vinegar! Not a lot, just enough to meld all of the flavors together…… so good! This makes a great side dish for every day meals or to impress your guests! Very tasty and easy to make.

Ingredients – Also black pepper, not shown.
Place the carrots into a 2 quart
casserole dish. Drizzle the olive oil
over top and toss the carrots to coat.
Sprinkle dry ingredients over top
and toss to coat. Bake uncovered at
450 degrees for 30 minutes. Turn carrots
over and cook another 20 – 30 minutes
or until tender. Drizzle with melted
butter and red wine vinegar then serve.

Those look amazing, Diane! Thanks for sharing. I need to pick up a couple of flavored vinegars to keep on hand. There’s a lot of recipes that call for red wine or Balsamic vinegar. I don’t think vinegar goes bad, if i don’t use it up quick enough.

Yes it will go bad but once you start using it, especially balsamic vinegar, you will be surprised at how often you will use it.

What about some feedback on your spiced roasted carrots, Diane?
I made them with my chicken dish for dinner yesterday, and as you wrote, they tasted really delicious. For some strange reason though, I almost always have to add my own twist whenever I try a new recipe. This time I added a minced clove of garlic and a fistful of finely chopped parsley to the melted butter before spooning it over the carrots (like the icing on the cake, haha…). 🙂
I have now saved the recipe and will absolutely make it again. 🙂
Cheers,
Meggie
