Rosemary Roasted Carrots

Back in the days before I went vegetarian, I never really looked forward to the turkey on Thanksgiving. I was (and still am!) all about those sides! Since there is a ton of cooking to do on Thanksgiving day, it is nice to have a few simple side dishes like these rosemary roasted carrots that look fancy but actually required little effort to make.

I just love the way that rainbow carrots look when served up together after roasting, but if you can’t find them, regular orange carrots work just fine. You can usually find the rainbow carrots at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s.

To make these carrots, you just peel them and toss them with olive oil, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt and pepper then toss them in the oven until they get start to brown and are tender when poked with a fork.

To serve, you’ll add goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and microgreens or parsley so that they look gorgeous amongst all the other Thanksgiving dishes on the table.
