Carrots are the easiest side dish that you can prepare for dinner. And with Easter right around the corner, it seems quite fitting to share this recipe with you. Bunnies.... carrots... it's not a coincidence that easy garlic and herb roasted carrots makes the Easter dinner cut.

The tastiest (and easiest) way to make carrots is roasting them. Roasting brings out their flavour and intensifies it, making them sweeter and more flavourful. And why not throw in some garlic and herbs while you are at it? Carrots will never taste the same!

And when it only takes 5-10 minutes prep before you pop these carrots in the oven... this dish is worry-free and stress-free. You can focus on preparing and cooking your other dishes. Yes!
Tips:
- Use carrots that still have the tops on. It just makes everything look prettier on a plate!
- When ready to serve, you can also sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top.

Hi Donna, to cook these at 350 F, roast until tender, about 40-45 minutes or longer depending on how well you would like them done.

Oh my! I saw the perfect carrots at the store, so i bought them for this recipe. It turned out so well. The flavor was amazing, and my guests all wanted the recipe. My carrots were very skinny so I cut the time by 10 minutes and they were perfect.
