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

bunch of purple or orange carrots, about 8

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

kosher salt, or sea salt to taste

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.
