    Proof that vegetables have all the flavor they need when cooked right.

    Ingredients

    bunch of purple or orange carrots, about 8

    1 TBS. olive oil (or more, as needed)

    kosher salt, or sea salt to taste

    Instructions

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Heat oven to 400 F.
    Trim & scrub carrots (but don't peel).
    Place carrots on baking sheet.
    Drizzle with olive oil & toss.
    Bake for 40 minutes, toss a few times throughout.
    You know the carrots are ready when you can pierce easily with a fork.
    Season with salt &/or cracked pepper & drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.
    Eat asap.
    Notes: For kids, you might want to cut up cooked carrots to make them easier to eat. Roasted carrots pair well with bitter mixed greens. We ate these with pesto, rice & mixed greens.
