Honey Roasted Carrots

Roasted vegetables are really the best. They are a side dish to almost any dinner and help us balance our meals. We like to rotate our vegetables so that we don’t get bored with eating the same thing over and over, while also getting the overall nutritional balance from different vegetables. Honey Roasted Carrots are a delicious addition to our vegetable rotation. We know it’s a good thing when our kids gobble it up without complaint, and the added bonus is that it takes hardly any time to get them ready and in the oven. Win win!

Do carrots need to be peeled?

The skin of carrots is absolutely safe to eat. However, you do need to make sure you wash them off. Carrots grow underground and will have dirt and debris on them. Rinse them thoroughly. You can choose to peel the carrots for aesthetic reasons, or to remove any dirt completely.

Benefits of Carrots:

Carrots can be part of a healthy diet. They are rich in antioxidants, essential nutrients and vitamin A.
