My family was so-so about carrots. They liked them raw, but cooked….well, that was another story. It was nearly impossible to get them to eat a cooked carrot.
Until now.
My secret weapon were these Garlic Roasted Carrots. They are bursting with flavor and natural sweetness.
And, if you happen to get a piece of the crispy caramelized garlic…pure deliciousness!

The recipe is super simple – just butter, minced garlic
