Roasted Carrots

I needed to make a side dish for a large get-together the other day, so I wanted something simple - something easy.

I decided on roasted carrots - another delicious dish for vegetable haters.

They were a hit! In fact, I overheard someone say, "I'll never make regular cooked carrots again!"

Roasted Carrots

Roasting carrots makes them oh, so sweet and delicious! This recipe fits perfectly in the New Measure Weight Loss Program. 

9 - 10 medium carrots
1 – 2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon onion powder or granulated onion

1. Wash and peel carrots. Trim off ends. Cut carrots into 1/2- to 3/4-inch slices and place in a mixing bowl.

2. Add oil and mix until carrots are well-coated.

3. Sprinkle with seasonings and mix well.

4. Place carrots single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until carrots are tender and some edges are browned.
Sprinkle with dried or minced fresh dill if desired.
